Mid-Autumn Poem Classic Old Poem in English

The following is the English version of Thoughts on a Quiet Night as follows:

Thoughts on a Quiet Night

Moonlight before my bed,

Bleak and chilly,

Afar, a solitary lamp

Dangles, the lonely eye of the city.

Gazing at the bright disk,

Distracted, I pillow my head

And fall to idly speculating

On the pure and chaste solitude.

It's a day without a single cloud,

The Milky Way, a clear stream;

It's a day without a single cloud.

The Milky Way, a clear stream;

The autumn wind, a gentle breeze,

The moonlight, a sheet of ice.

The lamp casts my lonely shadow

On the still and peaceful ground;<

The bedspread is a world of peace,

A world without strife or sound.

The city's hubbub is far away,

The world's dust is not in sight.

The city's hubbub is far away,

The world's dust is not in sight;

The ghosts and immortals may roam

And sport at will. The still and wise of the land

Will take my My simple soul

Wanders alone without a home;

Away from the world's scene of strife,

I gaze at the frosty moonlight.
