In the Night Journey on the Yellow Sand Road

By Xin Qiji

The moon shines bright, casting a silver glow,

On the Yellow Sand Road where I roam.

The wind whispers through the trees,

And the cicadas sing in the night.

The stars twinkle in the sky,

While I walk alone, far from home.

The distant mountains loom,

Their peaks veiled in misty gloom.

The moonlight dances on the sand,

Reflecting the loneliness I feel.

I think of my hometown,

Where the rivers flow and the flowers bloom.

The years have passed, and the seasons change,

Yet my heart remains the same.

I long for the days of my youth,

When I roamed the fields in the sun.

The Yellow River flows, ever strong,

Carrying the dreams of the people.

I hope for a ful land,

Where the people can live in harmony.

The night is long, and the road is dark,

But my heart is filled with hope.

For one day, I will return,

To the land of my birth, my home.
