望岳

岱宗夫如何

齐鲁青未了

造化钟神秀

阴阳割昏晓

荡胸生层云

决眦入归鸟

会当凌绝顶

一览众山小

Gazing at Mount Tai

O peak of paks, how high it stands!

One boundless green o’erspreads two States.

A marvel done by Nature’s hand,

O’er light and shade it dominates.

Clouds rise there from and lave my breast;

My eyes are strained to see birds fleet.

I must ascend the moutain’s crest;

It dwarfs all peaks under my feet.
