独怜幽草涧边生，
上有黄鹂深树鸣。
春潮带雨晚来急，
野渡无人舟自横。
上有黄鹂深树鸣。
春潮带雨晚来急，
野渡无人舟自横。
English translation
The West Brook at Chuzhou
What I love most is the quiet grass growing by the brook,
with an oriole calling above it, deep in the trees.
The spring tide, bringing rain, runs fast toward evening;
at the wild crossing no one is there, and the boat lies athwart of itself.
