杜甫 《旅夜书怀》

细草微风岸，危樯独夜舟。
星垂平野阔，月涌大江流。
名岂文章著，官因老病休。
飘飘何所似，天地一沙鸥。

Mooring a Night

Riverside grass caressed by wind so light,
A lonely mast seems to pierce lonely night.
The boundless plain fringed with stars hanging low,
The moon surges with the river on the flow.
Will fame ever come to a man of letters
Old, ill, retired, no official life betters?
What do I look like, drifting on so free?
A wild gull seeking shelter on the sea.
