Cen Shen: The Boundless Level Sands Stretch Far Away With Not A Human Trace 岑参 今夜未知何處宿 平沙萬里絕人煙

Written In The Desert
- Cen Shen
- Translated by Frank C Yue

On horseback, I am travelling West,
Longing to reach the sky's edge.
Since I left home, the Moon has waxed twice.
Tonight, I don't know where we can rest;
The boundless level sands stretch far away
With not a human trace.

磧中作
- 岑参 (715-770)

走馬西來欲到天

辭家見月兩回圓

今夜未知何處宿

平沙萬里絕人煙
