Night: Setting Out From Shih-kuan Pavilion by Hsieh Ling-yün

Followed mountains over a thousand miles,
Floated on a stream for almost ten evenings.
Birds return: boats and oars put aside.
Stars thinned out: a long weary trip.
High and bright, morning moon.
Cold, so cold, early dewdrips.

translated by Wai-lim Yip
