刘方平: 月夜/ liu fangping: a moonlight night

月夜

刘方平

更深月色半人家， 北斗阑干南斗斜。

今夜偏知春气暖， 虫声新透绿窗沙。

　

a moonlight night

liu fangping

when the moon has coloured half the house,

with the north star at its height and the south star setting,

i can fed the first motions of the warm air of spring

in the singing of an insect at my green-silk window.
