Lantern Festival poems

On the fifteenth night of the first month

[Tang] Su Weidao

Silver flowers shine like bright lanterns on the tree. On this night, the bridge leading to bright stars opens.

The crowd is surging and the dust is flying under the horseshoe; Moonlight shines in every corner, where people can see the moon overhead.

The singer in the moonlight, dressed in makeup, sang Plum Blossom.

The capital has been abolished, so don't worry about the timing of leaking jade. Don't let the only midnight snack pass by in a hurry this year.

Translation:

The lights are scattered, and the depths of the garden reflect bright light, just like delicate flowers; Because it was available everywhere, the iron lock of the city gate was also opened.

The crowd is surging and the dust is flying under the horseshoe; The moonlight shines, and people can see the bright moon everywhere.

In the moonlight, geisha are all dressed up and wearing heavy makeup, singing "Plum Blossoms Fall" as they walk.

The city has cancelled the night ban, so don't worry if the time is missed. Don't let the Lantern Festival night pass by once a year.
