and this one once again: Lines to Be Sent Home Written on a Rainy Night by Li Shang-yin

You ask me the date of my return—no date has been set.
The night rain over the Pa Mountains swells the autumn pond.
O when shall we together trim the candle by the west window,
And talk about the time when the night rain fell on the Pa Mountains?

translated by James J.Y. Liu
