The Mid-autumn Festival Tune: "Prelude to Water Melody"
(On the Mid-autumn Day of 1077, I fuddled my wine cup until dawn and wrote this while missing my brother Ziyou)
How long will the full moon appear？
Wine cup in hand，I ask the sky.
I do not know what time of the year
It would be tonight in the palace on high.
Riding the wind, there I would fly，
Yet I'm afraid the crystalline palace would be
Too high and cold for me.
I rise and dance，with my shadow I play.
On high as on earth, would it be as gay？
The moon goes round the mansions red
Through gauze-draped window soft to shed
Her light upon the sleepless bed.
Why then when people part，is the oft full and bright？
Men have sorrow and joy；they part or meet again；
The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane.
There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.
So let us wish that man
Will live long as he can！
Though miles apart，we'll share the beauty she displays.
