床前明月光，疑是地上霜。举头望明月，低头思故乡。
Before my bed, bright moonlight shines; I wonder if it is frost upon the ground. I lift my head to gaze at the bright moon; I lower it and think of home.

李白在这首诗里，把月光、霜和思乡的心情连在一起。疑是，是说好像，并不是地上真的有霜。
Li Bai connects moonlight with frost and the feeling of missing home. The speaker wonders whether the light is frost; the poem does not say there really is frost on the ground.
