Jiāng Cūn Jí Shì:
"A Scene at the Riverside Village"
-by CI KONGSHU (720-790?)
-Translated by Frank C Yue

Back from fishing, to leave the boat untiedit is best;
At riverside village, the Moon sets and it'stime to rest.
Even though strong winds may blow the boat adrift at night,
Blocked by dense reed-flow'rs in shallows, the boat won't take flight.


【江村即事】唐 • 司空曙

钓罢归来不系船， 江村月落正堪眠。
纵然一夜风吹去， 只在芦花浅水边。
