Traveler's song

West River Moon (Traveling at Night on Yellow Sand Way) a song by Song dynasty poet Xin Qiji

Moon light several branches startling magpie,
Soft breeze mid night buzzing cicada.
Rice flower fragrance midst talk of abundant year,
Hear frog sounds an orchestra.
Seven or eight dots of stars out in the sky,
One or two drops of rain before the mountain.
Old time straw hut village by the woods,
Road winds a bridge over a stream suddenly see.
