宋琬·《湖上杂诗（其三）》

山色南屏好，空濛半有无。

曲塘容舴艋，哀柳臣鹈鹕。

云起千峰乱，天晴一孤塔。

兴来思远眺，羌笛满西湖。

Radom Poem on the Lake

Sung Wan

Of mountain scenery, the Southern Screen is best:（1）

Its atmosphere misty, half is hidden, half is there.

A small skiff moors in the winding pond;

Pelicans rest under withered willow trees.

Clouds rise up and a thousand peaks are thrown together;

The sky clears and a single pagoda stands alone.

With inspiration come thoughts of distant views;

Melodies from a Tartar flute fill West Lake.

（1）. The Southern Screen, or Nan-p'ing, hills are located southwest of Hang-chow; the lake in the title refers to the famous West Lake.
