題金陵渡 張祜


題金陵渡    張祜(785-849)

金陵津渡小山樓,
一宿行人自可愁。
潮落夜江斜月裏,
兩三星火是瓜州。

The Jinling Crossing          Zhang Hu (785-849)

On a small hill sits the Jinling Crossing hostel,
Putting up there for the night a wayfarer is plagued by nostalgic dismals,
Amidst the ebbing tide the fading moon glows,
In the distance a few lamp lights over Guaizhou twinkle.
