Bright moon, why are you so clear?

Bright moon, why are you so clear?
By Han Anonymous Poet
Translated by Laijon Liu

Bright moon, why are you so clear?
And shine on my blind and bed?
Too much sorrow, how can I sleep?
So I hold my jacket and hang about.
A traveler am I and liberal as a cloud,
But nothing is better than being at home.
Away from family I wander alone,
My grieving thoughts with whom I share?
Staring at far, then back into my room,
To find my tear marks on my cloth.

古詩十九首之十九：明月何皎皎
明月何皎皎，照我羅床幃。
憂愁不能寐，攬衣起徘徊。
客行雖雲樂，不如早旋歸。
出戶獨徬徨，愁思當告誰？
引領還入房，淚下沾裳衣。
