My boat is moored by mist-veiled rivershore;
I'm grieved to see the setting sun no more.
On boundless plain clouds hang atop the tree;
In water clear the moon seems near to me. (Meng Haoran)

My boat is moored by mist-veiled rivershore; I'm grieved to see the setting sun no more. On boundless plain clouds hang atop the tree; In water clear the moon seems near to me.
