春晓孟浩然

春眠不觉晓，
处处闻啼鸟。
夜来风雨声，
花落知多少。

Spring Dawn Meng Haoren

Indolent sleeping in spring,
I'm unaware morning's here.
Clearly I can hear,
Birds' twittering everywhere.
With last night's gust of wind and rain,
I'm wondering -
How many flowers
Have fallen and scattered.

#02	黄鹤楼送孟浩然之广陵李白故人西辞黄鹤楼，烟花三月下扬州。孤帆远影碧空尽，唯见长江天际流。 Recitation 1 Recitation 2	Seeing off Meng Haoran for Guangling at Yellow Crane Tower Li Bai My old friend departs the west at Yellow Crane Tower, On a journey to Yangzhou among March blossom flowers. His lonely sail receding against the distant blue sky, All I see but the endless Yangtze River rolling by. (Marie Sun & Alex Sun at www.MarieSun.com)
#06	静夜思李白床前明月光，疑是地上霜。举头望明月，低头思故乡。 Recitation 1 Recitation 2	Thoughts on a Still Night Li Bai Before the well lays the bright moonlight, As if frost blanketing the earth. My head tilts upwards at the glowing moon; My head lowers with thoughts of home. Why is the character "床" (sleeping bed, the structure of ...) translated as "well" in the poem?

月下独酌 李白

花间一壶酒，
独酌无相亲；
举杯邀明月，
对影成三人。
月既不解饮，
影徒随我身；
暂伴月将影，
行乐须及春。
我歌月徘徊，
我舞影零乱；
醒时同交欢，
醉后各分散。
永结无情游，
相期邈云汉。

Drinking Alone by Moonlight Li Bai

A jug of wine amidst the flowers,
I drink alone with no soul around.
I raise my wine cup to the moon and invite her down;
Now we are three with my shadow.
The moon, she does not drink,
And my shadow follows my every move.
But for the moment,
The moon is my partner and I hang with my shadow.
To enjoy life is to take advantage of youth.
I sing, the moon hovers all around;
I dance, the shadow follows in a messy stumble.
Lucid, we enjoy each other knowingly;
In drunken sleep, we go our separate ways.
Bound to forever travel carefree,
We shall meet again in cosmic paradise.

Random Musings on a Homecoming Hè Zhizhang

I left home a young buck and returned an old man.
My accent's the same,
But sideburns silver have run.
They greet me, the children,
But know not who I am.
Smiling they ask me, "you come to us,
Dear sir, from which faraway land?"

(Marie Sun & Alex Sun at www.MarieSun.com)

#20	出塞王翰葡萄美酒夜光杯，欲饮琵琶马上催。醉卧沙场君莫笑，古来征战几人回？ Recitation 1 Recitation 2	Beyond the border Wang Han A fine grape wine, A luminous jade cup, A lust to drink, A lute calls to saddle up! Lying drunk on the battle fields, My lord, laugh not, Since days of yore, from battle, How many have come back? (Marie Sun & Alex Sun at www.MarieSun.com)
#21	出塞王昌龄秦时明月汉时关，万里长征人未还。但使龙城飞将在，不教胡马度阴山。 Recitation 1 Recitation 2	Beyond the Border Wang Changling The brilliant moon in the times of Qin, The frontier fortresses in the times of Han, A war expedition of a myriad miles, With no one yet returned to the homeland. If but the Flying General of the Dragon Fortress were still alive, No barbarian cavalry would dare cross Yinshan. (Marie Sun & Alex Sun at www.MarieSun.com)
#23	登鹳雀楼王之涣白日依山尽，黄河入海流。欲穷千里目，更上一层楼。 Recitation 1 Recitation 2	Climbing Stork Tower Wang Zhihuan The white sun leans against the mountain; The Yellow River flows to the seashore. Yearning to view another thousand miles? Ascend yet just another floor! (Marie Sun & Alex Sun at www.MarieSun.com)

A Night-Mooring at Maple Bridge Zhang Ji

The moon is setting,
Crows are cawing,
Frost fills the sky.
Riverside maples,
Glowing fishing light,
A sleepless, anxious night.
Beyond the Gusu wall,
From Cold Mountain Temple,
The toll of the bell
Reaches the passenger boat
At midnight!

Deep Yearning Wang Wei

The red beans grow in the southern lands;
Each spring their branches spread anew.
Please gather as much as you wish, my lord,
These incarnations of yearning love most true.

#31	哥舒歌西鄙人北斗七星高, 哥舒夜帶刀。至今窺牧馬, 不敢過臨洮。 Recitation 1 Recitation 2	Geshu Song Xi Biren The Big Dipper dangling on high, With sabre, Geshu patrols the night. Till now, they've preyed upon pasture horses, But, dare not cross Lingtao, In awe of Geshu's might. (Marie Sun & Alex Sun at www.MarieSun.com)
#33	塞下曲 (四首之三) 卢纶月黑雁飞高，单于夜遁逃。欲将轻骑逐，大雪满弓刀。 * Recitation 1 correction: 单于夜遁逃, "单于" in here should be pronounced as chán yú. Recitation 2	Borderland Song (#3 of 4) Lu Lun A black, moonless sky, the wild geese fly high, The chieftain of the Huns at night in flight. Ready to dispatch a light cavalry to chase, Heavy snow muffles the bow and broadsword's might. (Marie Sun & Alex Sun at www.MarieSun.com)

草白居易

离离原上草，
一岁一枯荣。
野火烧不尽，
春风吹又生。

远芳侵古道，
晴翠接荒城。
又送王孙去，
萋萋满别情。

Grass Bai Juyi

Grasses spread over the vast prairie,
withering and returning each year.
Wildfires cannot wipe them out;
A gentle Spring breeze
And again they sprout.

Their far away fragrant verdure
Invades the ancient routes;
Under cloudless skies
Their green entwines ruins.
My dear friend,
I'm seeing you off again,
And even the lush foliages
Feel the parting pain.

(Marie Sun & Alex Sun at www.MarieSun.com)

#36	乌衣巷刘禹锡朱雀桥边野草花，乌衣巷口夕阳斜。旧时王谢堂前燕，飞入寻常百姓家。 Recitation 1 Recitation 2	Black Clothes Alley Liu Yuxi Weeds and wildflowers spread by Vermilion Sparrow Bridge; Setting sunlight slants down Black Clothes Alley's entrance. Sparrows in olden days at courtyards of Wang and Xie mansions, Now flitter into ordinary people's humble houses. (Marie Sun & Alex Sun at www.MarieSun.com)
#38	悯农 (一) 李绅春种一粒粟，秋收万颗子。四海无闲田，农夫犹饿死。 * Recitation 1 correction : 春种一粒粟, "种" in here should be pronounced as 种 zhòng (plant, sow seed) instead of 种 zhǒng . Recitation 2	Sympathize with Farmers (1) Li Shen A grain of millet sown in the spring, Leads to a harvest bounty by the fall. Under the sky, no idle fields lie, Yet peasants succumb to starvation's pall. (Marie Sun & Alex Sun at www.MarieSun.com)

#40	游子吟孟郊慈母手中线，游子身上衣。临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。 Recitation 1 Recitation 2	Chant of the Itinerant Son Meng Jiao A loving mother with thread in hand, Clothing draped over her traveling son, Densely stitching till the very end, With worries of a late and far off return. How can the tender grass ever repay The nurturing warmth of the spring sun? (Marie Sun & Alex Sun at www.MarieSun.com)
#48	泊秦淮杜牧烟笼寒水月笼沙，夜泊秦淮近酒家。商女不知亡国恨，隔江犹唱后庭花。 Recitation 1 Recitation 2	Mooring on the Qinhuai River Du Mu Mist shrouds the icy water; Moonlight shrouds the sand, On Chinhuai I anchor at night, A wine-house close at hand. Courtesans oblivious to a defeated country's sorrow, Across the river, Still sing "Courtyard Flowers". (Marie Sun & Alex Sun at www.MarieSun.com)
