Climb the White Snow Tower in Yingzhou
登 郢 州 白 雪 楼
白 雪 楼 中 一 望 乡
青 山 簇 簇 水 茫 茫。
朝 来 渡 口 逢 京 使
说 道 烟 尘 近 洛 阳。
Deng Ying Zhou Bai Xue Lou
Bai xue lou zhong yi wang xiang
Qing shan cu cu shui mang mang.
Zhao lai du kou feng jing shi
Shuo dao yan chen jin luo yang.
Climb the White Snow Tower in Yingzhou
From atop the White Snow Tower gazed into the distance towards my hometown
Clusters of green mountains and rivers broad and vast.
Dawn arrives, go across the river mouth to meet the news from the capital
They explained that there are mists and dusts near Luoyang.
Notes:
Yingzhou: Ancient city in Hebei Province.
Mists and dusts: There is fighting between the imperial forces and of those invading from the north
