Thoughts of Old Time on a Night-Mooring near Cattle Hill

I moor near Cattle Hill at night
When there’s no cloud to fleck the sky.
On deck I gaze at the moon so bright,
Thinking of General Xie with a sigh.
I too can chant- to what avail?
None has like him a listening ear.
Tomorrow I shall hoist my sail,
‘Mid fallen maple leaves I’ll leave here.
