Fanghui 1082
Climb Yellow Tower
Gaze to Huangzhou;
To Huangzhou you gaze but cannot see,
below the Tower water eastward flows,
Water Flows, how can it be stayed?
Floating clouds, even more far reaching.
Wounded at heart, a traveler by the marshes,
haggard in Chu Eupatorium autumn.
From Stuart Howard Sargent's "Poetry of He Zhu (1052-1125)"
