THOUGHTS I
---Zhang Jiuling

A lonely swan from the sea flies,
To alight on puddles it does not deign.
Nesting in the poplar of pearls
It spies and questions green birds twain:
\"Don\'t you fear the threat of slings,
Perched on top of branches so high?
Nice clothes invite pointing fingers,
High climbers god\'s good will defy.
Bird-hunters will crave me in vain,
For I roam the limitless sky."

A NIGHT MOORING ON THE JIANDE RIVER
---Meng Haoran

While my little boat moves on its mooring of mist,
And daylight wanes, old memories begin....
How wide the world was, how close the trees to heaven,
And how clear in the water the nearness of the moon!

五言绝句  宿建德江
---孟浩然

移舟泊烟渚， 日暮客愁新。
野旷天低树， 江清月近人。
