Meng Haoran

Another interesting poem is "Thoughts in early winter" by major Tang dynasty poet Meng Haoran [孟浩然;] [689-740 a.D.] from the Chinese [http://www.chinese-poems.com/m8.html]: 

Trees shed leaves, and geese are flying south; The north wind blows, here on the river it's cold. My home is at the bend of the waters of Xiang, Far beyond the edge of the clouds of Chu. Travelling, I've exhausted my tears for home, I watch a lone sail at the heavens' end. The ferry's gone- who can I ask where? Darkness falls beside the level sea.
