唐詩三百首英譯 韓翃：酧程延鞦夜即事見贈

五言律詩

韓翃

酧程延鞦夜即事見贈

長簟迎風早， 空城澹月華。

星河鞦一雁， 砧杵夜千家。

節候看應晚， 心期臥亦賒。

曏來吟秀句， 不覺已鳴鴉。

AN AUTUMN EVENING HARMONIZING CHENG QIN'S POEM

While a cold wind is creeping under my mat，

And the city's naked wall grows pale with the autumn moon，

I see a lone wild-goose crossing the River of Stars，

And I hear， on stone in the night， thousands of washing mallets……

But， instead of wishing the season， as it goes，

To bear me also far away，

I have found your poem so beautiful

That I forget the homing birds.
