VU THI AN
___________________________
White summer night
On the white summer night, the moon shines
brightly on the top of the hill
The
dews kisses the delicate leaves in the forest
so softly
The
stars fall gracefully softly in my eyes
In the
dark of the night I feel the cold breeze
And the
bright whiteness of the moon.
Oh! How
the white summer nights decorate my soul
with wondrous poetic awakening.
Watching the midnight moon atop of the hill
Feeling
intoxicated as my soul being divided
into separate paths.
You
have left bringing with you my love
And all
I have left is the melancholic white summer
nights.
