From Volume 37: A poem by 李白, Li Po

秋日登扬州西灵塔

宝塔凌苍苍，登攀览四荒。顶高元气合，标出海云长。
万象分空界，三天接画梁。水摇金刹影，日动火珠光。
鸟拂琼帘度，霞连绣栱张。目随征路断，心逐去帆扬。
露浴梧楸白，霜催橘柚黄。玉毫如可见，于此照迷方。


Climbing the Xiling Pagoda [1] in Yangzhou, Autumn [2]
By 李白, Li Po

The pagoda points into blue sky,
and I climb on its top, looking at distant landscape.
The top merges with the sky’s vigor
and towers above the clouds like a brilliant sign.
