On The Boat Anchored Near Maple Bridge - 枫桥夜泊

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.


原诗:

枫桥夜泊
  (唐)张继
月落乌啼霜满天,
江枫渔火对愁眠。
姑苏城外寒山寺，
夜半钟声到客船。
