Quiet Night Thoughts: A Dialogue Between Li Bai and Shakespeare

(verse 1) 床前明月光， 疑是地上霜。 举头望明月， 低头思故乡。 (Chorus) Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices That, if I then had waked after long sleep, Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming, The clouds methought would open and show riches Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked, I cried to dream again. (verse 2) The bright moonlight falls upon my bed, Mistaking it for frost upon the ground. I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, lowering my head , I think of my hometown. (Chorus) The moon by this time was well up, and there by a fountain I sat my down and took a drink of the water, And thought I would not go to bed again But wait the morning sun.

(outro) And thought I would not go to bed again But wait the morning sun.
