Guess the name of the Chinese poems

First, start with an easy one,
Thoughts on a Quiet Night
Before my bed the moon beams bright
Is that frost on the ground I surmised
Lifting my head I gaze at the fair moon
Bowing my head I dream of my old home
How do you like this version? Do you have any other suggestions?

An Impromptu Verse on Returning Home
Left home when young, I return when old
Accent unchanged, my hair has thinned
Children I meet do not know me
"Traveller, where are you from?" they ask laughingly -

Empathy for Farmers
Hoeing under the midday sun
Sweat dripping into the tilled soil
Do you know in a plate of rice
Every grain is yielded by such toil? -
My favourite Tang poem.
Cherished Dreams
Love peas flourish in southern land
Young twigs abound in Spring
Please gather many of them
They best express our cherished dreams -

Any ideas on which popular poems are written by women?
