Night Rains: to my Wife up North by Li Shang-yin

You ask how long before I come. Still no date set.
The night rains on Mount Pa swell the autumn pool.
When shall we, side by side, trim a candle at the West Window,
And talk back to the time of the night rains on Mount Pa?

translated by A.C. Graham
