Zhang Jiuling, Looking at the Moon and Thinking of One Far Away
Zhang Jiuling, Looking at the Moon
and Thinking of One Far Away
The moon, grown full now over the sea, Brightening the whole of heaven, Brings to separated hearts
The long thoughtfulness of night.... It is no darker though I blow out my candle. It is no warmer though I put on
my coat. So I leave my message with the moon And turn to my bed, hoping for dreams.
