夕次盱眙县
韦应物
落帆逗淮镇， 停舫临孤驿。
浩浩风起波， 冥冥日沈夕。
人归山郭暗， 雁下芦洲白。
独夜忆秦关， 听钟未眠客。
mooring at twilight in yuyi district
wei yingwu
furling my sail near the town of huai,
i find for harbour a little cove
where a sudden breeze whips up the waves.
the sun is growing dim now and sinks in the dusk.
people are coming home. the bright mountain-peak darkens.
wildgeese fly down to an island of white weeds.
…at midnight i think of a northern city-gate,
and i hear a bell tolling between me and sleep.
