Chen Ziang:Before Me, Where Haveall The Sages Of Yore Gone? 陳子昂 前不見古人 後不見來者 Poem by Frank Yue

Dēng Yōu Zhōu Tái Gē:
"A Song: On Ascending the Youzhou Gate-Tower"
-by CHEN ZI'ANG (661-702)
-Translated by Frank C Yue

Before me, where haveall the Sages of yore gone?
Behind me, where are their successors (-Tell me, m'friend) ?
O Heaven and Earth, how boundless and without end!
I'm all alone, down my cheeks tears keep rolling on.


《登幽州台歌》唐 • 陈子昂

　前不见古人，后不见来者。

念天地之悠悠，独怆然而涕下。



【登幽州臺歌】唐 • 陳子昂

前不見古人，後不見來者。

念天地之悠悠，獨愴然而涕下。
