Hi, what you have there is actually a beautiful poem by 张继 (Zhang Ji),《枫桥夜泊》(Nightstay on Feng Bridge), which goes:

月落乌啼霜满天，江枫渔火对愁眠。
姑苏城外寒山寺，夜半钟声到客船。

The version on your script is read and written right to left, top to bottom, and the ordering of the characters is this:

客半外对满月
船钟寒愁天落
声山眠江乌
到寺姑枫啼
夜苏渔霜
城火
