Wang Zhihuan             王之渙

            登鸛雀樓

            白日依山盡        

            黃河入水流         

            欲窮千里目         

            更上一層樓  

                                        简体       

                  Climbing the Stork Tower

          The white sun sinks

                  behind the hills.

            The Yellow River rushes

                 forward to the sea.

            To get a view

                 of three hundred miles,

            Go up the tower

                 one more storey of height.
