端淑卿·《詠丹陽湖》
秋水茫茫帶白蘋,漁舟蟹網集湖濱。
長空入暮煙云起,只聽歌聲不見人。
Mooring on an Autumn Night at Dan Lake
Duan Shuqing
Autumn waters vast and vague, belted by white duckgrass;
Fishing boats and crab nets crowd the lakeshore.
The great sky comes to twilight, mist and clouds rise;
I hear the sound of song, but see no one.
(Charles H. Egan 譯)
