TUNE: THE MOON OVER THE WEST RIVER西江月HOME-GOING AT NIGHT FROM THE YELLOW SAND BRIDGE夜行黄沙道中Startled by magpies leaving the branch in moonlight,明月别枝惊鹊，I hear cicadas shrill in the breeze at midnight.

清风半夜鸣蝉。

The ricefields’ sweet smell promises a bumper year;稻花香里说丰年，Listen, how frogs’ croaks please the ear!

听取蛙声一片。

Beyond the clouds seven or eight stars twinkle;七八个星天外，Before the hills two or three raindrops sprinkle.

两三点雨山前。

There is an inn beside the village temple.

Look!

旧时茅店社林边，The winding path leads to the hut beside the brook.

路转溪桥忽现。
