Quiet Night Thought, A Chinese Poem By The Tang Dynasty Poet Li Bai In English Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

I see bright moonlight
on the floor by my bed

It looks like fresh
frost on the ground

I lift my head
and see the moon

I lower my head
missing my home

How I wish I
am there soon!

Moonlight before my bed
Perhaps frost on the ground.
Lift my head and see the moon
Lower my head and I miss my home.
