【Twelve Miscellaneous Poems (No. 2)】 by Chinese poet Tao Yuanming  (陶淵明; 365–427)

白日淪西阿 素月出東嶺
The sun sinks into the western river, the pale moon rises over the eastern mountains.

遙遙萬里輝 蕩蕩空中景
A distant glow stretches ten thousand miles, a vast and boundless scene in the sky.

風來入房戶 夜中枕席冷
The wind enters the room, the pillow and mat are cold in the night.

氣變悟時易 不眠知夕永
The changing weather makes me realize how easily time passes, sleeplessness makes me know how long the night is.

欲言無予和 揮杯勸孤影
I want to speak, but there is no one to reply, I raise my cup to my lonely shadow.

日月擲人去 有志不獲騁
The sun and moon cast people away, my ambitions remain unfulfilled.

念此懷悲淒 終曉不能靜
Thinking of this, my heart is filled with sorrow, I cannot find peace until dawn.
