夜雨寄北

Written in Night Rain for the North

Yè Yǔ Jì Běi

by Li Shangyin 李商隐 · 813 – 858

  • Rain
  • Love
  • Distance
君问归期未有期You ask when I will come; I have no date.
巴山夜雨涨秋池Night rain on Ba Mountain fills the autumn pool.
何当共剪西窗烛When will we trim the candle together at the west window,
却话巴山夜雨时and talk about this night rain on Ba Mountain?
