「夜泊旅望」白居易

少睡多愁客，中宵起望乡。沙明连浦月，帆白满船霜。

近海江弥阔，迎秋夜更长。烟波三十宿，犹未到钱唐。

ON THE WAY TO HANGCHOW: ANCHORED ON THE RIVER AT NIGHT 

Little sleeping and much grieving, — the traveller 

Rises at midnight and looks back towards home. 

The sands are bright with moonlight that joins the shores; 

The sail is white with dew that has covered the boat. 

Nearing the sea, the river grows broader and broader 

Approaching autumn, — the nights longer and longer. 

Thirty times we have slept amid mists and waves, 

And still we have not reached Hang-chow !
