作者：李白 By Li Po (701-762)
床前明月光 Moonlight glistens on the floor by my bed post
疑是地上霜 At first sight I mistook it for frost
举頭望明月 After looking up at the bright moon
低頭思故鄉 I lower my head, feeling homesick and lost
疑是地上霜 At first sight I mistook it for frost
举頭望明月 After looking up at the bright moon
低頭思故鄉 I lower my head, feeling homesick and lost
This is a short and simple poem about the moon and how it represents something that we could see wherever we may be in the planet. In this poem, the persona sees the moonlight as something that symbolizes a connection to his past life / a place where he used to live. The brightness of the moon however, opens the persona's eyes and make him/her realize that he might be looking at the same moon as before but he/she is in a different place now which may not necessarily be "home".
