Moments Like This(Bilingual) Poem by Perdita Young (Hanna Wang)

No dramatic opening of the day,
no radiation of signs gold,
though lamp-lights and stars
the windows still hold
ports and poets, the olden way.

Too much rain falls, from the May sky,
too many whethers, spoiling good life;
tumbling waves go wild, flooding land,
solid fences quick-broken in their slaps...

May specks and flashes not dazzle the eye,
May the thousand impressions not go dry…
The strata of colored clouds, - a fond drift,
The solitary soul does not need face-lift.

Chinese Translation by Mr.Know-Not(知不知斋主) ：

白日平常晓，金帘暗淡招
昏昏绮窗里，灯接星辰高
诗人在津渡，寂寞旧时潮

滔滔五月雨，纷纷吾多择
吾择何其多，毁生之欣悦
水肆卷良田，致我园篱决

光斑勿刺眼，心孔灵勿亡
青云独飘荡，孤芳岂用妆
