中文原文﹕
楚塞三湘接，
荊門九派通。
江流天地外，
山色有無中。
郡邑浮前浦，
波瀾動遠空。
襄陽好風日，
留醉與山翁。
英文翻譯 / English Translation﹕
The three shires of Xiang meet on the bounds of the Chu region,
Off the Jinmen Mountains, the Yangtze branches into many a stream.
Beyond the horizon, waters of rivers and creeks gush and flow,
The mountainous landscape undulates varying scenes.
Next to an approaching dock appear a township and villages,
Billows of the tide rise and fall to the distant sky stir and beat.
Here in Xiangyang, warm is the sun and balmy the breeze,
Perhaps I should stay on in the mountains and drink with local greybeards for a treat.
