丹陽湖

湖與元氣連，風波浩難止。
天外賈客歸，雲間片帆起。
龜遊蓮葉上，鳥宿蘆花裏。
少女櫂歸舟，歌聲逐流水。

On a Screen

A tortoise I see on a lotus-flower resting
A bird 'mid the reeds and the rushes is nesting,
A light skiff, propelled by some boatman's fair daughter,
Whose song dies away o'er the fast flowing water.

by Herbert Allen Giles (1845-1935)
