五言律詩 戴叔倫 江鄉故人偶集客舍

天秋月又滿, 城闕夜千重。
還作江南會, 翻疑夢裡逢。
風枝驚暗鵲, 露草覆寒蟲。
羈旅長堪醉, 相留畏曉鐘。

Dai Shulun CHANGING ON OLD FRIENDS IN A VILLAGE INN

While the autumn moon is pouring full
On a thousand night-levels among towns and villages,
There meet by chance, south of the river,
Dreaming doubters of a dream....
In the trees a wind has startled the birds,
And insects cower from cold in the grass;
But wayfarers at least have wine
And nothing to fear -- till the morning bell.
