七律·尘黄天老

Sevenfold Rhyme· Yellowed Skies and Aging Days

沐    风

By Mu Feng

    昼夜生风起大荒，

From vast wilds winds ceaselessly rise by day and night,

    隐空云气接天黄。

Where unseen clouds merge with the heavens' yellowed light.

    积暄久聚寒凝水，

Long-gathered warmth now chills to water’s icy form,

    出日新晞露结霜。

New-dried by sunlight, dew becomes frost crisp and white.

    故国秋深人易老，

In native land, deep autumn hastens aging years,

    他乡岁晚菊偏香。

While in strange fields, late chrysanthemums smell most bright.

    登临渐觉尘寰小。

Ascending heights, I feel the mortal world grows small,

    独对江亭劝影觞。

Alone, by riverside pavilion, to my shadow I call.
