Variant translation: — You ask me when I am coming. I do not know. I dream of your mountains and autumn pools brimming all night with the rain. Oh, when shall we be trimming wicks again together in your western window? When shall I be hearing your voice again all night in the rain? — "A Note on a Rainy Night", in Three Hundred Poems of the Tang Dynasty, trans. Witter Bynner
