西江月•夜行
辛弃疾
明月别枝惊鹊,
清风半夜鸣蝉。
稻花香里说丰年,
听取蛙声一片。
七八个星天外,
两三点雨山前。
旧时茅店社林边,
路转溪桥忽见。

Xi Jiang Yue
Night stroll
By Xin Qiji
Over treea the moon startles magpies,
Along cool breezes are cicada's songs at midnight.
Harvest is heralded amid sweet scent of paddy field.
The air is with frog's chorus happily filled.
Stars scatter high in the sky,
Light drizzles dance nearby.
That old hut by the temple woods,
Suddenly appeares beyond the bridge on a brook.
