登高 (Ascending Heights)

唐代：杜甫 (Tang Dynasty: Du Fu)

风急天高猿啸哀，渚清沙白鸟飞回。 'The wind is fierce and the sky is high, with the monkeys howling mournfully;'

无边落木萧萧下，不尽长江滚滚来。 'Endless leaves fall rustling down, while the Yangtze River rolls on endlessly.'

万里悲秋常作客，百年多病独登台。 'For thousands of miles, autumn is a sorrowful time for the traveler, and for a hundred years, illness has led me to climb this tower alone.'

艰难苦恨繁霜鬓，潦倒新停浊酒杯。 'Difficulties and sorrows have turned my hair frosty white, and now, in my misery, I lay down my cup of wine.'
