孟浩然
夏日南亭懷辛大
山光忽西落， 池月漸東上。
散髮乘夜涼， 開軒臥閑敞。
荷風送香氣， 竹露滴清響。
欲取鳴琴彈， 恨無知音賞。
感此懷故人， 中宵勞夢想。

IN SUMMER AT THE SOUTH PAVILION
THINKING OF XING
The mountain-light suddenly fails in the west,
In the east from the lake the slow moon rises.
I loosen my hair to enjoy the evening coolness
And open my window and lie down in peace.
The wind brings me odours of lotuses,
And bamboo-leaves drip with a music of dew….
I would take up my lute and I would play,
But, alas, who here would understand?
And so I think of you, old friend,
O troubler of my midnight dreams !
