TUNE: SILK-WASHING STREAM

浣溪沙

The evening bell bids adieu after the crows;

送了栖鸦复暮钟，

East of the folded screen the railing’s shadow grows.

栏杆生影曲屏东。

Lying, I see the lonely crane on the wind fly.

卧看孤鹤驾天风。

I rise and dance in moonlight with a cup of wine;

起舞一尊明月下，

The autumn sky’s like water and wine like the sky.

秋空如水酒如空。

Who’d drink with me since gone is the poet divine?

谪仙已去与谁同？
