海水晦夜清。秋色涵蓬壺。有叟雙龍公。鐵網羅珊瑚。風雲浩容與。悵恨何所圖。欲問天上人。可換明月無。

The sea water is clear in the dark night; / Autumn colors embrace the Isles of Penglai and Fanghu. / There is an old man, the Lord of Twin Dragons, / Who uses an iron net to catch coral. / Wind and clouds drift vast and leisurely; / Full of sorrow, what does he seek? / He wishes to ask the people of heaven / Whether it can be exchanged for the bright moon.
