无 限 青 山 散 不 收
云 奔 浪 卷 入 帘 钩。
直 将 眼 力 为 疆 界
何 啻 人 闻 万 户 侯。

Wu xian qing shan san bu shou
Yun ben lang juan ru lian gou.
Zhi jiang yan li wei jiang jie
He chi ren jian wan hu hou.

 

Classmate Mr. Dan, In Dexing, Asks Me to Compose This Poem For the Yu Family and Their Juyuan Tower: Three Poems: No. 2

Green mountains so scattered, some outside the field of vision
Unrestrained clouds scroll like a hooked curtain.
Looking straight and far away to borders and mountain ranges
Here you do not worry about the thousands of doors for the high officials.

 

 

Notes:

Dexing: City in Jiangxi Province, northeast of Zhejiang.
