Written on a Rainy Night to My Wife in the North

by Li Shangyin

translated by Xu Yuanchong

You ask me when I can return, but I don't know;

It rains in western hills and autumn pools overflow.

When can we trim by window side the candlelight And talk about the western hills in rainy night?

夜雨寄北

[唐]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。
