Original Poem
风急天高猿啸哀，渚清沙白鸟飞回。
无边落木萧萧下，不尽长江滚滚来。
万里悲秋常作客，百年多病独登台。
艰难苦恨繁霜鬓，潦倒新停浊酒杯。
Pinyin
fēng jí tiān gāo yuán xiào āi， zhǔ qīng shā bái niǎo fēi huí。
wú biān luò mù xiāo xiāo xià， bù jìn cháng jiāng gǔn gǔn lái。
wàn lǐ bēi qiū cháng zuò kè， bǎi nián duō bìng dú dēng tái。
jiān nán kǔ hèn fán shuāng bìn， liáo dǎo xīn tíng zhuó jiǔ bēi。
English Meaning
Wind swift, sky high: gibbons cry mournfully. Clear islets, white sand: birds wheel and circle back. Boundless falling leaves rustle down; the endless Long River rolls on. Ten thousand li from home, grieving autumn, ever the wanderer; a hundred years of illness — alone I climb the terrace. Hardship has frosted these temples; sunk in decline, I have set aside the cloudy cup.
