Inscription on the Jinling Ferry
At the Jinling ford, in the small hill pavilion,
A traveler who spends the night is naturally filled with sorrow.
As the tide recedes, beneath the slanting moon on the river at night,
Two or three sparks of firelight—that is Guazhou.
題金陵渡
金陵津渡小山樓，
一宿行人自可愁。
潮落夜江斜月裡，
兩三星火是瓜洲。
