Anchored Overnight at Maple Bridge
Zhang Ji fl.760

Crows caw the moon set frost fills the sky
River maples fishing fires care-plagued sleep
Coming from Cold Mountain Temple outside the Suzhou wall
The sound of the midnight bell reaches a traveler's boat
 
Fēngqiáo Yè Bó
Zhāng Jì fl.760

Yuè luò wū tí shuāng mǎn tiān,
Jiāng fēng yú huǒ duì chóu mián.
Gūsū chén wài Hánshānsì,
Yè bàn zhōng shēng dào kè chuán.
