《望月怀远》
张九龄
海上生明月,
天涯共此时。
情人怨遥夜,
竟夕起相思。
灭烛怜光满,
披衣觉露滋。
不堪盈手赠,
还寝梦佳期。
《Thinking of the Man Far Away in the Moonlight》
ZHANG Jiuling
The moon rising above the sea,
we share, far, far away
as you may find yourself.
Sad, sleepless, in the long night,
in separation, I think of you.
The moon so touchingly bright,
I extinguish the candle and step out,
my clothes wet by dew.
Alas, I cannot hold the moonlight
in my slender hand. I go back
into the room, perhaps
to dream again
of reunion.
