by Tschan-Jo-Su (flourished 19th century)
Translation by Hans Bethge (1876 - 1946)

Abend auf dem Fluß
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Chinese (中文) 
Our translations:  DUT
Nur eine einzige Wolke zieht am Abendhimmel hin;
Nur eine Barke schwimmt im Fluß, -- ich bin allein darin.
 
Nun kommt der junge Mond herauf, ein runder Silberschild;
Im Flusse, geisterhaft bewegt, seh ich sein Spiegelbild.
 
Da wird die dunkle Wolke hell und schwebt in süßer Ruh', --
Da fühl' ich weichen allen Schmerz, -- o Mond, das tatest du!
