酬程延秋夜即事见赠

韩翃

长簟迎风早， 空城澹月华。

星河秋一雁， 砧杵夜千家。

节候看应晚， 心期卧亦赊。

向来吟秀句， 不觉已鸣鸦。

　

an autumn evening harmonizing cheng qin's poem

han hong

while a cold wind is creeping under my mat,

and the city's naked wall grows pale with the autumn moon,

i see a lone wild-goose crossing the river of stars,

and i hear, on stone in the night, thousands of washing mallets....

but, instead of wishing the season, as it goes,

to bear me also far away,

i have found your poem so beautiful

that i forget the homing birds.
