English text of "A Night Mooring near Maple Bridge" by Zhang Ji:    While I watch the moon go down,    a crow caws through the frost;    Under the shadows of maple-trees    a fisherman moves with his torch;    And I hear, from beyond Suzhou,    from the temple on Cold Mountain,    Ringing for me, here in my boat,    the midnight bell.			Chinese text of 枫桥夜泊 by 张继:      夜 姑江 月      半 苏 枫 落      钟 城 渔 乌      声 外 火 啼      到 寒 对 霜      客 山 愁 满      船 寺 眠 天
