This poem I'm translating tonight is one of the most famous Chinese poems, so I hope to do it justice. In pinyin, it's "Jing Ye Shi" (modulo a 'g' and 'h'), by Li Bai (also known to the English world as Li Po). In my translation, it will be known as "Hmm".
Hmm
hmm, moonlight in my room
looks like snow cover
the moon so round
my feet like a child's
