At the ferry crossing station the sand is soft, and it sinks, leaving marks of the Xiang [River], beyond the forest, the homes of people can be partially seen in the fading glow of sunset. Cares for fame and fortune stretch out on the old distant road, the ferryman works his oar, dispersing the flock. In autumn of the jiachen year of the Yongzheng reign (1724), Zhuli Wang Yun.
