李白
月下獨酌

花間一壺酒， 獨酌無相親； 
舉杯邀明月， 對影成三人。 
月既不解飲， 影徒隨我身； 
暫伴月將影， 行樂須及春。 
我歌月徘徊， 我舞影零亂； 
醒時同交歡， 醉後各分散。 
永結無情遊， 相期邈雲漢。

Li Bai
DRINKING ALONE WITH THE MOON

From a pot of wine among the flowers 
I drank alone. There was no one with me -- 
Till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon 
To bring me my shadow and make us three. 
Alas, the moon was unable to drink 
And my shadow tagged me vacantly; 
But still for a while I had these friends 
To cheer me through the end of spring.... 
I sang. The moon encouraged me. 
I danced. My shadow tumbled after. 
As long as I knew, we were boon companions. 
And then I was drunk, and we lost one another. 
...Shall goodwill ever be secure? 
I watch the long road of the River of Stars.
