酬程近即事見贈 韓翃

酬程近即事見贈     韓翃(736-790)
長簟迎風早，空城澹月華。
星河秋一雁，砧杵夜千家。
節候看應晚，心期臥已賒。
向來吟秀句，不覺已鳴鴉。

Replying to Cheng Jin’s Recently Bestowed Poem   

Han Yi (736-790)

On my long bamboo mat whistles the early autumnal gale,

Over the desolate city spreads the moon’s mellow glow,
Across the heavens soars a solitary autumnal wild goose,
Night laundry hustle and bustle comes from thousands of households,
As daylight dims out dusk falls,
Anticipating your poem sleep I stall,
Intoning your lovely poem over and over,
Presently caw the morning crows.
