Along the riverbank, a closer look reveals many tiny details 
Men fishing with rods, with nets, or simply squatting
…An abandoned village along the canal
Dawn is about to break; fishermen return from the nearby lake,
boats heavy with catch
Their stalls scatters along the riverbank
The canal is at its emptiest hour
Night herons skim low across the water
I have a boat ticket, and I am about to draw a map
Would you come along?
 

河岸
定睛一看有很多细节 

一个运河边废弃的村落
天正要亮，渔民从附近的大湖满载而来
散布在河畔的集市
运河 正是空旷的时刻
夜鹭低低地掠过水面
我有一张船票，还有一张地图；
哦，古老的行囊，波动的书卷
将要描摹，隐秘的群星和沟壑
