THE SEA

I come to see the boundless ocean 

From Stony Hill on eastern shore 

Water rolls in rhythmic motion, Islands stand amid its roar. 

Tress on trees, from peak to peak, Grass on grass, lush far and night, 

Autumn winds blow drear and bleak, 

Monstrous billows surge up high. Sun by day, moon by night Appear to rise up from the deep. 

The Milky Way with stars to sleep. 

How happy I feel at this sight! I sing this poem in sheer delight.

Chinese Version “觀滄海Guān cānghǎi ”

“東臨碣石，以觀滄海。

水何澹澹，山島竦峙。

樹木叢生，百草豐茂。

秋風蕭瑟，洪波湧起。

日月之行，若出其中；

星漢燦爛，若出其里。

幸甚至哉，歌以詠志。
