Landscapes Deep and Vast
汪 浦
苇 岸 齐 齐 似 碧 城
江 船 罨 岸 逆 风 行。
绿 蘋 白 芷 俱 憔 悴
惟 有 蒌 蒿 满 意 生！
Wang Pu
Wei an qi qi si bi cheng
Jiang chuan yan an ni feng hang.
Lu pin bai zhi ju qiao cui
Wei you lou hao man yi sheng!
Landscapes Deep and Vast
Blue-green waterside reeds gather along the city walls
River boats with their fishing nets fail to maintain their distances in the wind.
Green clover ferns and baizhi are all ill and emaciated
Only have beached wormwood to fill and choke-up the riverbanks.
Notes:
Baizhi: Perennial shrub used in Chinese medicine that grows near riverbanks.
