Tune: “Prelude to Water Music”
The bright moon, when will she appear?
Wine cup in hand, I ask the blue sky.
I don’t know inside the gates of heaven
What time of year it would be tonight.
I was just about to ride there on the wind,
But feared the heaven’s crystalline palaces and towers
So high, would be for me too cold.
Instead, I dance and cavort here with my shadow
And know what it is to be among men…

To the Waters of the Chia-Ling - Yuan Chen
Long ago you were perhaps
a river flowing down a mountain!
Since then you've been flowing,
deepening your bed;
If I could make a river current
understand human feeling,
Then you might know my mind
on coming from so far.
