Li Shangying is my favourite poet.share yours.
竹坞无尘水槛清,
相思迢递隔重城。
秋阴不散霜飞晚,
留得枯荷听雨声.

The one I like most is a 苏幕遮 by 范仲淹(Fan 4 Zhong1Yan1)

碧云天,黄叶地,秋色连波,波上寒烟翠。
山映斜阳天接水,芳草无情,更在斜阳外。
黯乡魂,追旅思,夜夜除非,好梦留人睡。
明月楼高休独倚,酒入愁肠,化作相思泪。

i like that classic nostalgia of Fan Zhong Yan, too

append here an English translation (just for understanding to all, tranlator unknown, a random search from the internet)

"Su mu che"

Dark clouds in the sky
Yellow leaves on the ground
A wash of autumn color right to the sea
And on the waves a cold green mist
Shafts of sunlight play with sky and mountains in the water
The fragrant grass has no sympathy --
It's still untouched by the setting sun

Gloom far from home
Stalks the traveler
Night after night, unless
A pleasant dream hold him in sleep --
Oh don't, in bright moonlight, lean idly in the tower, alone
Wine to a sad heart
Turns to tears of longing

The translation is quite well, I think. But I still believe that Chinese poems should be written in Chinese. It's easy to translate the characters, but hard to translate the environment, feeling and artistic concept.

How about this one? 蝶恋花 written by 苏轼.

蝶恋花
苏轼

花褪残红青杏小。
燕子飞时,绿水人家绕。
枝上柳绵吹又少,天涯何处无芳草?
墙里秋千墙外道。墙外行人,墙里佳人笑。
笑渐不闻声渐悄,多情却被无情恼。

月下读酌(李白)
花间一壶酒,
独酌无相亲。
举杯邀明月,
对影成三人。
月既不解饮,
影徒随我身。
暂伴月将影,
行乐须及春。
我歌月徘徊,
我舞影凌乱。
醒时同交欢,
醉后各分散。
永结无情游,
相期邈云汉。
