TUNE: SONG OF THE SUNNY PASS

THE MID-AUTUMN MOON

Evening clouds withdrawn, pure cold air floods the sky;

The River of Stars mute, a jade plate turns on high.

How oft can we enjoy a fine mid-autumn night?

Where shall we view next year a silver moon so bright?

阳关曲

中秋作

暮云收尽溢清寒，

银汉无声转玉盘。

此生此夜不长好，

明月明年何处看？
