Drinking Alone under the Moon
---Li Bai
A jug of wine amidst the flowers:
Drinking alone, with no friend near.
Raising my cup, I beckon the bright moon;
My shadow included, we re a party of three.
Although the moon s unused to drinking
And the shadow only apes my every move
For the moment I ll just take them as they are,
Enjoying spring when spring is here.
Reeling shadow, swaying moon
Attend my dance and song.
Still sober, we rejoice together;
Drunk, each takes his leave.
To seal forever such unfettered friendship
Let s rendezvous the Milky Way.
