Tell me, Star, whose wings of light
Speed thee in thy fiery flight,
In what cavern of the night 
   Will thy pinions close now?

Tell me, Moon, thou pale and grey
Pilgrim, of Heav'ns homeless way,
In what depth of night or day,
   Seekest thou repose now?

Language: Chinese (中文) after the English

快说，星星，谁之光翼
使你这样的迅极，
什么样的夜洞里
将你的羽毛收起？

天上香客无家园，
白天黑夜到多晚
现在你才得休闲？
