Midnight Stars - 夜半星


Woke up in the middle of the night and this line came into my mind, 五月花香夜横星,In the month of May, flowers are fragrant as the stars swept the sky.

1.榴月闌干夜橫星 In the month of May stars crisscrossing in nightly profusion,
2.幾道燦爛銀飛影 A few streaks of silvery brightness are now but shadows.
3.空山無語醉夢眠 The mountains are silent in slumbering drunken dreams.
4.長江不斷水流靜 Still the Yangtze in unbroken quiet flows.

1.Pomegranate Month is the poetic term for May. 欄杆 means banister or railing.

2.The first two weeks is the best time in the northern hemisphere to view the eta Aquariids meteors. The rate decreases afterwards.

3.The first four characters were a little help from the computer.

4. The original text is “long river”.
