明月几时有

Lyrics from a famous chinese poem wrote by Su Shi,a great chinese poet.

水调歌头

苏轼

明月几时有，
把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙，
今夕是何年。
我欲乘风归去,
又恐琼楼玉宇，
高处不胜寒，
起舞弄清影，
何似在人间。

转朱阁，
低绮户，
照无眠。
不应有恨，
何事长向别时圆。
人有悲欢离合，
月有阴晴圆缺，
此事古难全。
但愿人长久，
千里共婵娟。

When will such a bright full moon ever arise again?
Have a glass of wine and question the sky.
I do not know what year it is tonight
For the palaces up in the paradise.

I want to ride the wind and return to the heaven.
But fear that the heaven of jasper and jade
Is filled with chill, because the palaces rear so high.
Get up and dance with my own shadow.
Might as well stay in the earthly world.

Around the crimson pavilions
Sliding through the lattices
Onto the sleepless eyes.
Oh Moon, if you bear no grudge,
Why you always fill the sky at time of separation?

As there is sadness and joy, separation and reunion.
The moon could be shining or clouded, waning or waxing.
Perfection is never meant to be.

Wish you peace and longevity,
So we could share the moonlights from thousand miles apart.

世事一场大梦，

人生几度秋凉，

夜来风月已明朗，

看取眉头鬓上。

酒贱长愁客少，

月明多被云妨。

中秋谁与共孤光，

把盏凄然北望。

Jane Eyre and 水调歌头--interesting combination--I would not have thought to try--- But it turned out beautiful. Thank you.
