MOORING AT TWILIGHT IN YU-YI DISTRICT
Furling my sail near the town of Huai,I find for harbour a little coveWhere 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.
