静夜思

床前明月光，疑是地上霜。

举头望明月，低头思故乡。

A Tranquil Night

Before my bed a pool of light.

Can it be hoarfrost on the ground?

Looking up, I find the moon bright;

Bowing, in homesickness I’m drowned.

(许渊冲 译 2004)

Thoughts on a Tranquil Night

Before my bed a pool of light—

Can it be hoar-frost on the ground?

Looking up, I find the moon bright;

Bowing, in homesickness I’m drowned.

(许渊冲 译 2005)

Thoughts on a Tranquil Night

Before my bed a pool of light—

O can it be hoar-frost on the ground?

Looking up, I find the moon bright;

Bowing, in homesickness I’m drowned.

Notes: Seeing a pool of moonlight, the poet is drowned in the pond of homesickness.

(许渊冲 译 2006)
