THE MOON GODDESS
五月十五夜玩月
The wind and tide run high;
风高浪快，
I ride the Toad miles and miles up the sky.
万里骑蟾背。
I see the Moon Goddess dance with grace,
曾识姮娥真体态，
Unpowdered her pure face.
素面元无粉黛。
I tour the silver palaces with towers impearled;
身游银阙珠官，
Below I can’t discern the mist-veiled world.
俯看积气濛濛。
Drunk, the Moon Goddess shakes the laurel trees,
醉里偶摇桂树，
On earth blows a cool breeze.
人间唤作凉风。
