Reaches the white day, <br />The sun raging fast like a roaring train, <br />Moves laboringly on a track round, <br />Sets steps to an endless end. <br /> <br />During the big break of day, <br />Strange that we always witness the <br />Stealing eyes of darkness <br />Peacefully peeping from the corner of loveliness. <br />When nights creep near, <br />Delightful that few times we catch <br />Some laughing rays <br />Stirred by the spoons of the moonlight fairies. <br /> <br />The day and the night habitually <br />Make a bargain, <br />Then keep things marching <br />Like on the great globe <br />Happened once nothing.<br /><br />Wang Qian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-day-and-the-night/
