The moon is still bright;
The lights below the hills are still on;
The sky is still full of stars
Hanging like dreams.
一样是月明，
一样是隔山灯火，
满天的星
只使人不见，
梦似的挂起。
一样是隔山灯火，
满天的星
只使人不见，
梦似的挂起。

The moon is still so bright;
Beyond the hills the lamp sheds the same light.
The sky besprinkled with star on star,
But I do not know where you are.
It seems
You hang above like dreams. | Xu Yuanchong, Vanished Springs: The Life and Love of a Chinese Intellectual (Vantage Press, 1999), pp. 44–45
