How about the ballads?

[NewHope]

(If possible, improve it please)

(1)
The waning moon is shining over the vast land,

Joys and sadness divide the world so distinct;

Merrymakers on high towers are people with wealth,

Drifting the world are those miserably helpless.

(2)

The Moon-light streams over the vast land,
A few smile and a few wail,
Many debauching on high floor,
Many wandering on the road.

=======================================

Which one is better?

I'd use 2, but take the first line from 1
