O the clear moon's speckless, silvery night!
When filling thy cup, be sure to fill it quite!
Strive not for frothy fame or bubble wealth!
A passing dream—
A flashing flint—
A shadow's flight! O what is knowledge, fine and superfine?
To innocent and simple joys resign!
To be myself and in contentment face
A valley of clouds—
a sweet-toned ch'in—
A jug of wine!

清夜无尘,月色如银 。 酒斟时须满十分。 浮名浮利,虚苦劳神。 叹隙中驹, 石中火, 梦中身。 虽抱文章,开口谁亲? 且陶陶乐尽天真。 几时归去,作个闲人, 对一张琴, 一壶酒, 一溪云。
