A Chinese poem

Lettering:
楓橋夜泊

月落烏啼霜滿天
江楓漁火對愁眠
姑蘇城外寒山寺
夜半鐘聲到客船

唐 張繼

Translation:
Moored for the Night by the Maple Bridge

The Moon sets, crows cry, snows falling in all the skies

River maple, fisher's light stare at my sad eyes

Outside Suzhou, where the Hanshan Temple lies

Tolls of its midnight bell reach traveller's boat here tied

Tang Dynasty - Zhang Ji

Edge

Reeded
