同从弟南斋玩月忆山阴崔少府

王昌龄

高卧南斋时， 开帷月初吐。

清辉淡水木， 演漾在窗户。

苒苒几盈虚？ 澄澄变今古。

美人清江畔， 是夜越吟苦。

千里其如何？ 微风吹兰杜。

　

with my brother at the south study

thinking in the moonlight of vice-prefect cui in shanyin

wang changling

lying on a high seat in the south study,

we have lifted the curtain-and we see the rising moon

brighten with pure light the water and the grove
