The spring tide is even in the river, and the bright moon is born on the sea.
I drift thousands of miles, where there is no moon by the river!
Interpretation of vernacular:
In spring, the river tide is mighty, connected with the sea, and a bright moon rises from the sea, as if spewing out with the tide.
The moonlight shines on the riverside. The waves are thousands of miles away, and the moonlight on the riverside is bright!
