想家 "Home Sick"

There is a poem by one of China's my famous poets, Li Bai. The poem is about being home sick, in Chinese they call it 想家 or "wanting home" and even though at this moment I am not home sick, I thought I would post the poem because the time when I home the most is usually at night. For me, this poem really captures those times.

So bright a gleam on the foot of my bed --
Could there have been a frost already?
Lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight.
Sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home.

  2. 床前看月光,疑是地上霜。举头望山月,低头思故乡。
