Night Rain: A Letter to the North

**Night Rain: A Letter to the North**

Li Shangyin

You ask when I will return, but I cannot say,

The night rain in the Ba mountains swells the autumn pool.

When shall we trim the candle by the western window together

And speak of this night rain in the Ba mountains?

夜雨寄北

夜雨寄北

李商隱

君問歸期未有期

巴山夜雨漲秋池

何當一作「時」共剪西窗燭

卻話巴山夜雨時

君問歸期未有期

巴山夜雨漲秋池

何當共剪西窗燭

卻話巴山夜雨時
