Cui Tu
Line after line has flown back over the border.
Where are you headed all by yourself?
In the evening rain you call to them
And slowly you alight① on an icy pond.
The low wet clouds move faster than you
Along the wall toward the cold moon.
If they caught you in a net② or with a shot③,
Would it be worse than flying alone?
① alightvi. (鸟等)飞落;(雪花等)飘落 adj. 燃烧着的
② netn. 网;网状物;罗网,陷阱
③ shotn. 射击,开枪;弹丸;炮弹

几行归塞尽,
念尔独何之。
暮雨相呼失,
寒塘欲下迟。
渚云低暗度,
关月冷相随。
未必逢矰缴,
孤飞自可疑。
