Sunset Again in Yutai Xian
夕次盯眙县
落 帆 逗 淮 鎮
停 舫 临 孤 驿。
浩 浩 风 起 波
冥 冥 日 沉 夕。
人 归 山 郭 暗
雁 下 芦 洲 白。
独 夜 忆 秦 关
听 钟 未 眠 客。
Xi Ci Ding Chi Xian
Luo fan dou huai zhen
Ting fang lin gu yi.
Hao hao feng qi bo
Ming ming ri chen xi.
Ren gui shan guo an
Yan xia lu zhou bai.
Du ye yi qin guan
Ting zhong wei mian ke.
Sunset Again in Yutai Xian
Lower the sail to stop at a garrison post on the Huai River
Drop anchor close to a solitary station.
Strong, stiff wind grows large waves
Fading sunset, sun getting dimmer and dimmer.
Dark mountains, people meet again inside the city walls
Wild geese descend near the reeds on white sandbars.
Lonely night, recall areas just outside the capital’s city gates
Travelers not yet asleep hear the temple bells.
Notes:
Yutai Xian: Shandong province
Huai River: Located in northern Anhui province
