Missing Family on a Quiet Night
By: Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)

The moonlight brightly shines in front of the bed, assumes is the frost on the ground.
Look up to see the bright moon, look down again, and think of distant family.

Corrected:

The moonlight brightly shines in front of the bed, seeming like is the frost on the ground.
Look up to see the bright moon, look down again, and think of distant family.


静夜思

唐 · 李白

床前明月光,疑是地上霜。

举头望明月,低头思故乡。

Missing Family on a Quiet Night

By: Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)

The moonlight shines brightly shines in front of the bed, assumes is the frost is on the ground.

I’m not sure what the second sentence means, do you mean that that the moonlight assumes the frost is on the ground? Or an indirect narrator does?

Look up to see the bright moon, look down again, and think of distant family.

It’s hard to correct poetry so I’m not sure. Such a beautiful piece of poetry, thank you for sharing :)
