夏日南亭懷辛大

孟浩然

山光忽西落， 池月漸東上。

散發(fā)乘夜涼， 開軒臥閑敞。

荷風(fēng)送香氣， 竹露滴清響。

欲取鳴琴彈， 恨無知音賞。

感此懷故人， 中宵勞夢想。

IN SUMMER AT THE SOUTH PAVILION

THINKING OF XING
Meng Haoran

The mountain-light suddenly fails in the west,

In the east from the lake the slow moon rises.

I loosen my hair to enjoy the evening coolness

And open my window and lie down in peace.

The wind brings me odours of lotuses,

And bamboo-leaves drip with a music of dew....

I would take up my lute and I would play,

But, alas, who here would understand?

And so I think of you, old friend,

O troubler of my midnight dreams !
