One Old Man: I Watch The First Light In The Morning Among The Willow Ribbons Peeping 老年人 朝看晨光透柳條 暮觀霞彩染西霄 Poem by Frank Yue

"Living in Jiangnan"
-by One Old Man
-Translated by Frank C Yue

I watch the first light in the morning
Among the willow ribbons peeping;
Burning evening clouds I admire,
That set all the western skies on fire.

Brimming lake water aquamarine,
O It is so soothingly green;
Covering half of the smokey hill,
A lone cloud is drifting away still.

《七絕~江南居》老年人

朝看晨光透柳條，

暮觀霞彩染西霄；

一湖碧水盈盈綠，

半岫煙雲寂寂飄。
