Orally Composed on the Western Tower of Jinling in Moonlight

金陵城西楼月下吟

[唐] 李白（许渊冲译）

The cool breeze blows on silent night in Town of Stone,

To view the south I mount the high tower alone.

White clouds and city walks mirrored on ripples swoon;

Dewdrops look like pearls dripping from the autumn moon.

Crooning long, I won’t go back; drowned in moon rays;

How few are connoisseurs in my eyes since olden days!

Seeing the river crystal-clear and silver-white,

How I miss the unforgettable poet bright!

金陵夜寂凉风发，

独上高楼望吴越。

白云映水耀空城，

白露垂珠滴秋月。

月下沉吟久不归，

古来相接眼中稀。

解道澄江净如练，

令人长忆谢玄晖。
