Recall Other First Full Moons of the Lunar Year
元 夜 忆 群 从
愁 里 仍 蒿 径
闲 中 更 荜 门。
青 灯 聊 自 照
浊 酒 为 谁 温。
隙 月 知 无 梦
窗 梅 寄 断 魂。
遥 怜 好 兄 弟
飘 泊 两 江 村。
Yuan Ye Yi Qun Cong
Chou li reng hao jing
Xian zhong geng bi men.
Qing deng liao zi zhao
Zhuo jiu wei shei wen.
Xi yue zhi wu meng
Chuang mei ji duan hun.
Yao lian hao xiong di
Piao bo liang jiang cun.
Recall Other First Full Moons of the Lunar Year
Melancholy inside wormwood covered paths
Unoccupied leisure inside gates and doors.
Naturally only one blue lantern lit
Even deep and thick wine makes one warm and content.
Crescent moon knows I am without sleep or dreams
Plum tree shadows and spirit fall upon the windows.
In seclusion, empathy for my younger brothers
All leading a wandering life, aimlessly drifting.
