夜宿山寺 – 李白
危楼高百尺,手可摘星辰。
不敢高声语,恐惊天上人。
A Five-Character Quatrain by Li Bai
(Lodging Overnight at a Mountain Temple)
The temple so towery I come by,
On which I can pluck the stars from the sky.
Oh, I dare not utter a voice too loud,
Afear to frighten those who dwell on high.
Tr. Ziyuzile

夜宿峯頂寺,舉手捫星辰。

The tower, on which I stand, is so high
That I could seize the stars across the sky.
Oh, I dare not chant with a loud steven,
For fear of waking elves up in heaven.
