李贺 大漠沙如雪，燕山月似钩。 The sands of the vast desert gleam like snow; Like a curved sword hangs the Yan Mountain moon.

 【马诗二十三首】其五  唐 • 李贺
 
大漠沙如雪，                                   
燕山月似钩。
何当金络脑，
快走踏清秋?

The sands of the vast desert gleam like snow;
Like a curved sword hangs the Yan Mountain moon.
When will the fine, gold-harness'd war horse soon
On the crisp autumn plains galloping go?
