Full of Wild Grace

full moon and boat in harbor

Opposite a Post-Station, the Boat
Moonlit Beside a Monastery

My boat mirroring a clear, bright moon
Deep in the night, I leave lanterns unlit.
A gold monastery stands beyond green maples
Here, a red post-tower beside white water.

Faint, drifting from the city, a crow’s cry
Fades. Full of wild grace, egrets sleep.
Hair white, a guest of lakes and rivers,
I tie blinds open and sit alone, sleepless.

~ Tu Fu
(trans. David Hinton)
