好雨知时节Good rain knows its season;
当春乃发生it comes when spring begins.
随风潜入夜It slips in with the wind at night,
润物细无声moistening all things, fine and silent.
野径云俱黑Field paths and clouds are all dark;
江船火独明only a lantern on a river boat burns.
晓看红湿处At dawn, look where the red is wet —
花重锦官城flowers heavy across the City of Brocade.
