Going Up Yoyang Tower

by Li Bai

  


We climbed Yoyang Tower with

  all the scene around coming

  into vision; looking up the

  Great River seeing boats turn

  and enter the Tungting Lake; geese

  crying farewell to the river

  as they flew south; evening falling

  as if mountain tops upt up the moon

  with their lips; and we in the Yoyang

  Tower as if with heads amongst

  the cloud, drinking wine as if the cups

  came from heaven itself; then

  having drunk our fill there blew

  a cold wind filling out our

  sleeves, it seeming as though

  we were dancing in time with it.

  Li Po
