4.Chinese Poem- 离思 Think Of My Dear Wife

lí sī [táng ]yuán zhěn 离思 [唐]元稹

céng jīng cāng hǎi nán wéi shuǐ， 曾经沧海难为水， chú què wū shān bú shì yún。 除却巫山不是云。 qǔ cì huā cóng lǎn huí gù， 取次花丛懒回顾， bàn yuán xiū dào bàn yuán jūn。 半缘修道半缘君。

THINK OF MY DEAR WIFE No other waters could impress me for I've seen the vast seas; Having viewed majestic Witch'd Mountain, me other clouds can't please.I will never glance again at other flowers -- (to you I vow) -- For my destined Love is half for you, Dear, and half for the Dao!

This is a poem composed by the poet Yuan Zhen who seemed depicting the Wu Mountain but was actually expressing his tremendous passion for his wife.
