Souvenirs

夜雨寄北 · Li Shang-yin (李商隐)

You ask when I’m coming: alas, not just yet How the rain filled the pools on that night when we met! Ah, when shall we ever snuff candles again, And recall the glad hours of that evening of rain?

Herbert A. Giles, Chinese Poetry in English Verse, 1898, p. 135. Public domain.
