Wang Wei: Qi Lake

Qi Lake

欹 湖

吹 箫 凌 极 浦
日 暮 送 夫 君。

湖 上 一 回 首
山 青 卷 白 云。

Qi Hu

Chui xiao ling ji pu
Ri mu song fu jun.                                                                                                                      Hu shang yi hui shou
Shan qing juan bai yun.

Qi Lake

At the water’s edge, notes played from the bamboo flute can reach no higher
At sunset, sending off gentlemen friends.

From the lake, people on the boat turn around again and again to give farewells
Green mountains and white clouds curl and enfold.
