Appreciation
静夜思 (A Tranquil Night)
床前明月光，Before my bed a pool of night
疑是地上霜。Can it be hoarfrost on the ground
举头望明月，Looking up, I find the moon bright;
低头思故乡。Bowing, In homesickness I’m drowned.
─ translated by 许渊冲
静夜思Quiet night thinking.
床前明月光 The moonlight in front of the bed,
疑是地上霜 suspected to be frost on the ground.
举头望明月 Looking up at the bright moon,
低头思故乡 looking down at hometown
─translated by Google tranlation
