I had this beautiful piece of silk for a very long time, but I never knew what the characters meant. Turns out its a beautiful poem by the most famous Chinese poet; Li Bai.
Night Thoughts
I wake and moonbeams play around my bed
Glittering like hoarfrost to my wondering eyes
Upwards the glorious moon I raise my head
Then lay me down and thoughts of home arise
Tr by: H.A. Giles
