白日依山盡 黃河入海流
欲窮千里目 更上一層樓

Ascending the Heron Tower             江紹倫  譯

The white sun diminishes o’er the mountain top
The ocean-bound Yellow River flows non-stop
To see a grandeur view a thousand li from here
One more flight up the tower it will be near

人閒桂花落 夜靜春山空
月出驚山鳥 時鳴春澗中

A Dale Where Birds Sing                 江紹倫  譯

Folks enjoy their respite when sweet osmanthus fall
Spring hills become empty on quiet nightfall
A sudden moonshine could awake birds in the bare hill
Their fitful twitters will keep a spring dale filled

渭城朝雨浥輕塵   客舍青青柳色新
勸君更盡一杯酒   西出陽關無故人

To a Departing Ambassador             江紹倫  譯

This quiet little town Wei is clean washed by morning rain
Young willows by the tavern lodge are bright and green
Do down this cup of wine with me once and again
West of the Sun Pass no more friends will be seen

日日人空老 年年春更歸
相歡在樽酒 不用惜飛花

Farewell to Spring                 江紹倫  譯

Day after day we all grow old
But spring returns every year we know
Let’s enjoy togetherness o’er a bottle of wine
And not feel sad seeing fallen petals fly

青山横北郭   白水繞東城
此地一為别   孤蓬萬里征

浮雲游子意   落日故人情
揮手自兹去   萧萧班馬鳴

Farewell My Friend              江紹倫  譯

Green mountains range across the northern sky
White water girds the eastern hometown
Here we each other say goodbye
Alone you will freely drift as light as thistledown

Howe’er you may roam following the floating clouds
At every sunset your tender heart will feel affectionately bound
Let’s wave so you can get on your way
Await not your steed so impatiently neigh
