A Tranquil Night
Abed, I see a silver light,
I wonder if it's frost aground.
Looking up, I find the moon bright;
Bowing, in homesickness I'm drowned.
静 夜 思
- 李 白
床 前 明 月 光 ，
疑 是 地 上 霜 。举 头 望 明 月 ，低 头 思 故 乡 。
I seek but seek in vain,
I search and search again;
I feel so sad , so drear,
so lonely, without cheer.
寻寻觅觅,
冷冷清清,
凄凄惨惨戚戚。

I saw a coffin drop down dead,

And said though strange they all were true.
Our first football match
We would have won…
If Jack had scored that goal,
If we’d had just a few more minutes,
if we had trained harder,
if Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
If we’d had thousands of fans screaming,
If I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball,

We would have won…
If we’d been better!
