贯休·《招友人宿》英译

银地无尘金菊开，紫梨红枣堕莓苔。

一泓秋水一轮月，今夜故人来不来？

Inviting a Friend to Spend the Night

Guan Xiu

Silvered earth without dust, and the golden chrysanthemum in bloom,

Purple pears and red dates falling on the lichen moss;

A shaft of Autumn water, and a round moon—

On such a night, my old friend, are you not coming?
