LOOKING AT THE MOON AND THINKING OF ONE FAR AWAY ----Zhang Jiuling

海上生明月 The moon, grown full now over the sea,
天涯共此时 Brightening the whole of heaven,
情人怨遥夜 Brings to separated hearts
竟夕起相思 The long thoughtfulness of night....
灭烛怜光满 It is no darker though I blow out my candle.
披衣觉露滋 It is no warmer though I put on my coat.
不堪盈手赠 So I leave my message with the moon
还寝梦佳期 And turn to my bed, hoping for dreams.
