Rain On The River by Lu Yu

zdunno03's avatarLeonard Durso

In the fog we drift hither
And yon over the dark waters.
At last our little boat finds
Shelter under a willow bank.
At midnight I am awake,
Heavy with wine. The smoky
Lamp is still burning. The rain
Is still sighing in the bamboo
Thatch of the cabin of the boat.

translated by Kenneth Rexroth
