Meng Haoran: Stay Overnight on the Jiande River

Stay Overnight on the Jiande River

建 德 江 宿

移 舟 泊 烟 渚
日 暮 客 愁 新。

野 旷 天 低 树
江 清 月 近 人。

Jian De Jiang Su

Yi zhou bo yan zhu
Ri mu ke chou xin.                                                                                                                      Ye kuang tian di shu
Jiang qing ming jin ren.

Stay Overnight on the Jiande River

Move the boat, cast anchor near a misty islet
Sunset, this traveler with new sadness, homesickness.

Landscape and sky vast and empty, bare trees
Moonlight on the clear river my friend.

Notes:

Jiande River: Located inside  Zhejiang Province
