Quiet Night ThoughtsMoonlight before my bed,
Could it be frost instead?
Head up, I watch the moon;
Head down, I think of home.（趙甄陶 譯）
Thoughts in the Still of the NightA pool of moonlight before the bed,
Took it to be frost on the ground.
Raised my head to gaze at the moon,
And lowered it to think of home.（任治稷、余正 譯）

Beside my bed a pool of light—

I bend my head and think of home.（楊憲益、戴乃迭 譯）

Night ThoughtsAs by my bed
the moon did beam,
It seemed as if with frost the earth were spread.

My head, to gaze
At the fair moon. And now,
With head bent low,
Of home I dream.（John Turner 譯）

Glittering like hoar-frost to my wandering eyes;

And wondered if it were not the frost on the ground.

I bowed my head and thought of my far-off home.（S. Obata 譯）

Then hide them full of Youths sweet memories.（W. J. B. Fletcher 譯）

Thought frost on ground foamed,
Raised head faced bright moon,
Lowered head dreamt of home.（Wong Man 譯）

before my bed,

to gaze at the clear moon,
Bowed my head
remembering my old home.（Innes Herdan 譯）
Thoughts in a Tranquil NightAthwart the bed
I watch the moonbeams cast a trail
So bright, so cold, so frail,
That for a space it gleams
Like hoar-frost on the margin of my dreams.
I raise my head,—
The splendid moon I see:
Then droop my head,
And sink to dreams of thee—
My fatherland, of thee!（L. Cranmer-Byng 譯）

I wonder if that can be frost on the floor?
I lift up my head and look at the full moon, the dazzling moon.
I drop my head, and think of the home of old days.（Amy Lowell 譯）
Calm Night ThoughtThe moon light is on the floor luminous
I thought it was frost, it was so white
Holding up head I look at mountain moon
that makes me lower head
lowering head think of old home

mountain
looking up I find it to be the moon（Ezra Pound 譯）
