Wave on wave the long river eastward rolls away;

Gone are all heroes with its spray on spray.

Success of failure, right or wrong, all turn out vain;

Only green mountains still remain

To see the setting sun’s departing ray.

The white-haired fishermen sail on the steams with ease,

Accustomed to the autumn moon and vernal breeze.

A pot of wine in hand, they talk as they please.

How many things before and after

All melt into gossip and laughter!
