枫桥夜泊 Night Mooring at Maple Bridge
Zhang Ji 张继 · Tang, 8th century
A sleepless traveller hears the bell of Hanshan Temple reach his boat.
月落乌啼霜满天，江枫渔火对愁眠。 yuè luò wū tí shuāng mǎn tiān, jiāng fēng yú huǒ duì chóu mián.
The moon sets, crows call, and frost fills the sky; by riverside maples and fishing lights I lie down in sorrow.
姑苏城外寒山寺，夜半钟声到客船。 gū sū chéng wài hán shān sì, yè bàn zhōng shēng dào kè chuán.
From Hanshan Temple outside Gusu, the midnight bell reaches a traveller’s boat.
