（古詩英譯）夏夜 — （宋）釋雲岫

夏夜 —  （宋）釋雲岫

 

夏夜追涼月滿庭，謝家池上舊山青。

自慚無物堪酬對，隻把禪心伴月明。

 

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.
