Full Moonlit Night, First Lunar Month, Fifteenth Day
明 月 三 五 夜
待 月 西 厢 下
迎 风 户 半 开。
拂 墙 花 影 动
疑 是 玉 人 来。
Ming Yue San Wu Ye
Dai yue xi xiang xia
Ying feng hu ban kai.
Fu qiang hua yin dong
Yi shi yu ren lai.
Full Moonlit Night, First Lunar Month, Fifteenth Day
Maiden’s letter to her man, let’s meet outside the city gates under the moon
She will leave her window half open for him.
Garden shadows move, flowers touch each other
No doubt his lady has now arrived.
