夜雨寄北

李商隐

君问归期未有期， 巴山夜雨涨秋池。

何当共剪西窗烛， 却话巴山夜雨时。

　

note on a rainy night to a friend in the north

li shangyin

you ask me when i am coming. i do not know.

i dream of your mountains and autumn pools brimming all night with the rain.

oh, when shall we be trimming wicks again, together in your western window?

when shall i be hearing your voice again, all night in the rain?
