月下独酌

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。

Translation:

From a pot of wine among the flowers
I drank alone. There was no one with me --
Till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon
To bring me my shadow and make us three.
Alas, the moon was unable to drink
And my shadow tagged me vacantly;
But still for a while I had these friends
To cheer me through the end of spring….
I sang. The moon encouraged me.
I danced. My shadow tumbled after.
As long as I knew, we were boon companions.
And then I was drunk, and we lost one another.
…Shall goodwill ever be secure?
I watch the long road of the River of Stars.
