Tune: Slow Song of Stars and Moon On the Cloudy Mid-Autumn Night By William He
Tides ebb and flow in the bight, The sky is gloomy and gray, Bifrost is capsulated by the sea mist. Sycamores sway languidly, Hidden crickets come out to sing. Moon's face is palely looms, Uncalmed feelings flow, A gust of wind blowing Victoria Bay, Seascape wrapped in blanket of foam. A cloudy space odyssey, But rather an unattainable dream.
Satellite holds distant secret, Celestial more in condensing spray. To be long to a rosy evening, Chasing the recurrent dream of hearts. Breakers along ashore look entirely golden, Neon lights shimmering through the dark. Awaiting nightly endeavor, Aglaia is leaning over a hedge. Gentle will the griffin be, He looks out through renovated eyes. Musing on Daphne, What she lights my spirit up, Do the laurel bush ever blooms.
拜星月慢 庚子中秋云遮月 作者：何威廉
后海生潮， 阴晴显晦， 淡霭蓝桥涯畔。 曳影疏桐， 有蛩吟声断。 半遮月， 怎奈、 风吹水涨维港， 浪飐光浮锋面。 气聚云回， 似鸿濛青幻。
想蟾宫， 正雾屏纱幔， 念良夜、 对雀台高岸。 灯树叠波交璨， 骋妍如流绚。 泛璇湾、 桂魄离怀唤。 苍鸾忖、 遂我尘寰愿。 姮娥约、 旧曲新歌， 又悲欢趁伴。
Notes: "Bifrost": In Norse mythology, Bifrost is the rainbow bridge that connects Asgard, the world of the Aesir tribe of gods, with Midgard, the world of humanity. Bifrost is guarded by the ever-vigilant god Heimdall. "Victoria Bay": Also known as Victoria Harbour, is between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. It is the third largest bay in the world following San Francisco and Re de Janeiro. It is where you can take Star Ferry, visit the Peak, Avenue of Stars and Sky 100 Observation Deck, and enjoy firework show during Chinese New Year. "Aglaia": The youngest of the Charites, Aglaea or Aglaia ("splendor, brilliant, shining one") was Hephaestus' wife and Asclepius' daughter in Greek mythology. Other sources cite her and her sisters as the daughters of Zeus and the Oceanid Eurynome. Her other two sisters were Euphrosyne, and Thalia. Together they were known as the Three Graces, or the Charites. "Griffin": Also spelled griffon or gryphon, composite mythological creature with a lion’s body (winged or wingless) and a bird’s head, usually that of an eagle. The griffin was a favourite decorative motif in the ancient Middle Eastern and Mediterranean lands. "Daphne": In Greek mythology, the personification of the laurel, a tree whose leaves, formed into garlands, were particularly associated with Apollo (q.v.). Traditionally, the special position of the laurel was connected with Apollo’s love for Daphne, the beautiful daughter of a river god who lived a pastoral existence in either Thessaly, the Peloponnese, or Syria. "Laurel bush": Laurel symbolizes immortality, a factor of which the Romans certainly had not lost sight when they made it the emblem of both intellectual and military glory. This immortality symbolism was equally familiar to the Chinese. The Moon, one is assured, contains an Immortal and a laurel bush.
