夜泊牛渚怀古

李白

牛渚西江夜， 青天无片云；

登舟望秋月， 空忆谢将军。

余亦能高咏， 斯人不可闻。

明朝挂帆席， 枫叶落纷纷。

THOUGHTS OF OLD TIME FROM A NIGHT-MOORING UNDER MOUNT NIU-ZHU

Li Bai

This night to the west of the river-brim

There is not one cloud in the whole blue sky,

As I watch from my deck the autumn moon,

Vainly remembering old General Xie....

I have poems; I can read;

He heard others, but not mine.

...Tomorrow I shall hoist¹ my sail,

With fallen maple-leaves behind me.
