振策陟崇丘，
I tighten reins when I ascend the hills;
安辔遵平莽。
I loosen reins when I cross o'er the rills.
夕息抱影寐，
I sleep with my shadow late at night;
朝徂衔思往。
And think my thoughts of home in broad daylight.
顿辔倚高岩，
When I halt my horse upon a peak,
侧听悲风响。
I hear the grievous wind bemoan and shriek.
清露坠素辉，
Wet dews are glistening in the fair moonlight;
明月一何朗。
The moon above is shining clear and bright.
抚枕不能寐，
As I toss and turn and cannot fall asleep,
振衣独长想。
I rise and sink in thoughts profound and deep.
