Passing the Night at Xuyi County
Moored by the mast, I drift to Huai Town,
My anchored boat now rests by a lone inn's bound.
Vast winds arise and stir the waves on high,
The dimming sun sinks down across the western sky.
The people return—mountain walls grow dark,
The wild geese descend—reed isles gleam white, a stark
And lonely sight. In this long, solitary night,
I think of the passes of Qin, a sleepless guest,
Listening to the bells that break my restless rest.
夕次盱眙縣
落帆逗一作「透」淮鎮，停舫臨孤驛。
浩浩風起波，冥冥日沈夕。
人歸山郭暗，雁下蘆洲白。
獨夜憶秦關，聽鐘未眠客。
