杜牧:旅宿/ Du Mu:A NIGHT AT A TAVERN

旅宿

杜牧

旅馆无良伴, 凝情自悄然。

寒灯思旧事, 断雁警愁眠。

远梦归侵晓, 家书到隔年。

沧江好烟月, 门系钓鱼船。

 

A NIGHT AT A TAVERN

Du Mu

Solitary at the tavern,

I am shut in with loneliness and grief.

Under the cold lamp, I brood on the past;

I am kept awake by a lost wildgoose.

...Roused at dawn from a misty dream,

I read, a year late, news from home --

And I remember the moon like smoke on the river

And a fisher-boat moored there, under my door.
