祖咏: 终南望余雪/ zu young: on seeing the snow-peak of zhongnan
终南望余雪
祖咏
终南阴岭秀， 积雪浮云端。
林表明霁色， 城中增暮寒。
on seeing the snow-peak of zhongnan
zu young
see how zhongnan mountain soars
with its white top over floating clouds --
and a warm sky opening at the snow-line
while the town in the valley grows colder and colder.
