暮宿丹水山。
左手弯繁弱，
And stop upon Mount Danshui for the night. I stretch a mighty bow with my left hand
右手挥龙渊。
顾瞻望宫阙，
And wave a pointed sword with my right hand. When I look backward at the palace wall,
俯仰御飞轩。
据鞍长叹息，
Imperial buildings seem to rise and fall. I sit straight on my horse and heave a sigh,
泪下如流泉。
系马长松下，
Tears flooding down without my knowing why. I tie my horse on a pine beside the creek
废鞍高岳头。
烈烈悲风起，
And unsaddle it upon the mountain peak. So fierce, so fierce the autumn wind does blow;
泠泠涧水流。
挥手长相谢，
So swift, so swift the mountain creek does flow. I wave my good-bye from the towering peak;
哽咽不能言。
浮云为我结，
I moan and sob, hardly able to speak. The floating clouds seem to gather for me;
归鸟为我旋。
The thronging birds seem to linger for me.
