Wang An-shih (1021-1086)

 
Wandering Out with a Full Moon to
Eightfold-Integrity River
 
Thoughts turned far away from you,
confusion rife, I can’t sleep. Finally
 
I rise, gaze up into bright stars, then
saddle a horse and wander the road
 
east, thinking rivers and mountains
might ease my worries. I know you
 
ate no dinner. Come: we’ll ladle out
clouds together here at their source.
