六月二十日渡海 Crossing the sea on the 20th day of the 6th month By Su Dongpo
參橫斗轉欲三更，苦雨終風也解晴。 Orion is horizontal, the Dipper turns; it is the third watch, The bitter rain ends, the wind clears the sky. 雲散月明誰點綴？天容海色本澄清。 The Clouds scatter; the moon is clear, who comes to adorn it? The Face of heaven, the sea's colour are by themselves pure. 空餘魯叟乘桴意，粗識軒轅奏樂聲。 Floating on a raft, retaining the Sage of Lu's intentions, Yet roughly recognising Xuanyan's musical tones. 九死南荒吾不恨，茲游奇絕冠平生。 I do not regret dying nine deaths in the southern wilds; This wandering's marvels crown my ordinary life.
