Sound of Rain

Yu Ji 1272-1348 I sit imprisoned behind screens             My hair thin and scraggy, The candle remnant gutters             As I drink at dusk. Many years wasted in Peking             My spirit exhausted, Suddenly the sound of Spring rain             Brings thoughts of my Southern home.
