Down Zhongnan Mountain to the kind pillow and bowl of Hu Si – Li Bai

Down the blue mountain in the evening, 

Moonlight was my homeward escort. 

Looking back, I saw my path 

Lie in levels of deep shadow…. 

I was passing the farm-house of a friend, 

When his children called from a gate of thorn 

And led me twining through jade bamboos 

Where green vines caught and held my clothes. 

And I was glad of a chance to rest 

And glad of a chance to drink with my friend…. 

We sang to the tune of the wind in the pines; 

And we finished our songs as the stars went down, 

When, I being drunk and my friend more than happy, 

Between us we forgot the world. 

暮从碧山下， 山月随人归； 

却顾所来径， 苍苍横翠微。 

相携及田家， 童稚开荆扉； 

绿竹入幽径， 青萝拂行衣。 

欢言得所憩， 美酒聊共挥； 

长歌吟松风， 曲尽河星稀。 

我醉君复乐， 陶然共忘机。
