The lonely moon is hurrying through the cloud
Thoughts on the Night of My 30th Birthday
Alone
The lonely moon is hurrying through the cloud,
Hesitating I am alone in my yard ,
Creatures `round are moaning in their solitude,
An idea`s come to me of being deserted.
Worries
The tear that in the past thirty years I shed,
Congealed to pearls,and now decked my eyelid,
The sighs for life and love and worries breathed,
Converted with air into my heart and head.
Hatred
Why, my cruel Goddess ,between us the River you`ve made,
Leaving us the true lovers resentment and hatred,
Let the unbroken tie of loving be a bridge wide,
Lest that tears of missing wash away your Palace yard!
Missing
I can see a girl wandering in the moon and she is my dear,
She is thinking of me , I guess，eyes full of tear,
Behold, she was waving at me and smiling,
I know ,she is there though,her heart is here,
Exhorting
Be careful, my love, a chilly wind comes,
And blows untidy your dress and your hairs ,
I beg you ,my dear, to return to bed,
We are to meet together in our dreams.
