杜 甫 (Du Fu, also Romanized as
Tu Fu, 712 - 770 A.C.E, Chinese)

Stars and Moon on the River
The Autumn night is clear
After the thunderstorm.
Venus glows on the river.
the Milky Way is white as snow.
The dark sky is vast and deep.
The Northern Crown sets in the dusk.
The moon like a clear mirror
Rises from the great void. When it
Has climbed high in the sky, moonlit
Frost glitters on the chrysanthemums.
