（古詩英譯）夏夜 — （宋）释云岫

夏夜 —  （宋）释云岫

 

夏夜追凉月满庭，谢家池上旧山青。

自惭无物堪酬对，只把禅心伴月明。

 

Summer Night by Monk Shi Yun-you (curtesy name:)

(Soong Dynasty)

 

I seek breeze in the yard where moonlight spills,

Beyond the pool, lie the time-honoured hills.

Alas, I can offer naught to the moon,    

But my heart that Zen fills, thrills, and eke stills.
