<Poem>
山光忽西落，
池月漸東上。
散髮乘夕涼，
開軒臥閑敞。
荷風送香氣，
竹露滴清響。
欲取鳴琴彈，
恨無知音賞。
感此懷故人，
中宵勞夢想。
<End Poem>
<Translation>
"The sun has set behind the western slope,
The eastern moon lies mirrored in the pool;
With streaming hair my balcony I ope,
And stretch my limbs out to enjoy the cool.
Loaded with lotus-scent the breeze sweeps by,
Clear dripping drops from tall bamboos I hear,
I gaze upon my idle lute and sigh;
Alas, no sympathetic soul is near!
And so I doze, the while before mine eyes
Dear friends of other days in dream-clad forms arise."
