The curved hook moon hangs on the sparse buttonwood; In the dead of night, the water from the water clock has been dripping. Who saw the solo dance, like a wild goose in the sky.
At night, it suddenly becomes afraid, suddenly flies and comes back frequently, but no one always understands its infinite inner feelings. It kept wandering among the cold branches, but refused to perch on any tree, and finally landed alone on the cold shoal.
To annotate ...
Leak: that is, late at night. Leaking refers to the leaky pot used by the ancients for timing; It means late at night.

The waning moon hung high on the sparse phoenix tree, the drip stopped and the crowd began to be quiet. You can often see lonely people wandering alone, as well as lonely geese flying high.
It suddenly started up and turned around in a hurry, but no one could understand it with hatred in its heart. It took all the cold branches and refused to live, but hid in a lonely sandbar and was willing to suffer.
