Moonlit Night (Liu Fangping)

In the deep of night, moonlight falls on half the houses,

The Northern Dipper sprawls, the Southern Dipper tilts.

Tonight I alone feel the warmth of spring's breath,

The sound of insects newly filters through the green window screens.

月夜 (劉方平)

更深月色半人家,

北斗闌干南斗斜。

今夜偏知春氣暖,

蟲聲新透綠窗沙。
