Song Zhiwen, Inscribed on the Wall of an Inn North of Dayu Mountain

Song Zhiwen, Inscribed on the Wall of an Inn North of Dayu Mountain

They say that wildgeese, flying southward,
Here turn back, this very month....
Shall my own southward journey
Ever be retraced, I wonder?
...The river is pausing at ebb-tide,
And the woods are thick with clinging mist –
But tomorrow morning, over the mountain,
Dawn will be white with the plum-trees of home.
