八月十二日夜诚斋望月

杨万里

才近中秋月已清，鸦青幕挂一团冰。

忽然觉得今宵月，元不粘天独自行。



Gazing at the Moon on the 12th of August

Yang Wan-li

Near the mid-autumn the moon’s appeared round and bright,

As if a round of ice hung in the dark blue sky.

All of a sudden I realize the moon tonight,

Can turn alone instead of sticking to the high.
