Moonlight’s near my bed.
Looks like frost. I amn´t dead:
Head up – I watch the Moon,
I see the Light – down, head.

Afront bed, moonlight bright
I took for ground frost white

Author’s comments:
This is the translation of a more widely known version (明月 bright moon instead of 山月 mountain moon).
English #3 – Quiet Night Thoughts
On the bed, there is the bright light of the moon.
It seems that there’s the frost on the dry land.
I raise the head and watch the mountain-moon.
And lower the head and dream the home land.
