Will a moon so bright ever arise again? br Drink a cupful of wine and ask of the sky. br I don't know where the palace gate of heaven is, br Or even the year in which tonight slips by. br I want to return riding the whirl-wind! But I br Feel afraid that this heaven of jasper and jade br Lets in the cold, its palaces rear so high. br I shall get up and dance with my own shadow. br From life endured among men how far a cry! br br Round the red pavilion br Slanting through the lattices br Onto every wakeful eye, br Moon, why should you bear a grudge, O why br Insist in time of separation so th fill the sky? br Men know joy and sorow, parting and reunion; br The moon lacks lustre, brightly shines; is al, is less. br Perfection was never easily come by.
