舟中读元九诗 – 白居易

把君诗卷灯前读，诗尽灯残天未明。

眼痛灭灯犹闇坐，逆风吹浪打船声。

Perusing Yuan’s Poetry in Boat by Bai Juyi

By the flickering candle, your verse I peruse,

As I end them, the candle fades, yet predawn still,

My eyes tired and sore, in darkness I sit and muse,

The boat feels the wave’s slaps as the headwind sounds shrill.
