THE MOON GODDESS
五月十五夜玩月
The wind and tide run high;
風高浪快,
I ride the Toad miles and miles up the sky.
萬里騎蟾背。
I see the Moon Goddess dance with grace,
曾識姮娥真體態(tài),
Unpowdered her pure face.
素面元無粉黛。
I tour the silver palaces with towers impearled;
身游銀闕珠官,
Below I can’t discern the mist-veiled world.
俯看積氣濛濛。
Drunk, the Moon Goddess shakes the laurel trees,
醉里偶搖桂樹,
On earth blows a cool breeze.
人間喚作涼風。
