西方文学　Western Literature

Out in the early morning

（旧作，挖出来，经过加工修改，再发。）

Out in the early morning

Dawn, a wooden cabin asleep.
Alone I take a trodden path
to Yellowstone Lake,
where everything is calm, quiet.
A tree trunk lies ashore
half buried in the sand.
I climb on it and sit. Suddenly,
a golden gopher scurries away
under my bare feet
as a line of wild ducks dot the waves,
rising and falling. Not far,
a man is fishing, content,
reminiscent of a legendary old man,
fishing with a straight hook, no bait.
I smile at this thought.
Again, the ripples roll gold and silver
dropped by the new sun.
I regret missing its leaping from the horizon -
its splendor, majesty.
The far ranges are
a mirage in the hazy clouds
while the water murmurs rhythmically
against the shore, as if singing,
"Come earlier next morning."
My book lies forgotten in my hand.

Is this idea from one of the ancient Chinese poems? This new version makes me feel calm and content.

It is from my experience of going to Yellowstone Park years ago, though there is a reference of Jiang Taigong in the poem, which is how I felt at that time. Funny.

Of which Chinese poem did this one remind you?

Thanks for reading and commenting.
