On The Boat Anchored Near Maple Bridge - 楓橋夜泊

The moon was ascending
while birds crowing
in the frosty sky.
With worry, I companied the unsleeping
maples along the river and flashing
lights in the river village.
From the Hanshan Temple locating
outside the Suzhou city,
the temple bell ringing,
its sound flied in the middle night
to my little boat
anchored near the Maple Bridge.


原詩:

楓橋夜泊
  (唐)張繼
月落烏啼霜滿天,
江楓漁火對愁眠。
姑蘇城外寒山寺，
夜半鍾聲到客船。
