Single Malts - and other odd Musings

The Rising Moon Reflecting - in the pond



ON A QUIET NIGHT, Li Bai


I saw the moonlight before my couch,
And wondered if it were not the frost on the ground,
I raised my head and looked out on the mountain moon;
I bowed my head and thought of my far-off home.


Li Bai's poems were translated into English by Shigeyoshi Obata (1888–1971)- Japanese translator and Chinese-poetry enthusiast.
