画栋朝飞南浦云,At dawn, clouds from South Bay lightly wreathe the painted beam.

珠帘暮卷西山雨.At dust, the rolled-up curtains frame and present A Rain-in-West-Hill's Scene.

闲云潭影日悠悠,Rambling clouds, shades over the pool----The slow hours a longer day make.

物换星移几度秋.Fortunes shift, things change----how many autumns do they take?

阁中帝子今何在?Tell me, where now is the Prince who built this Pavilion-House.

槛外长江空自流.Outside its railings the Long River Flows aimlessly by.
