Encountering Rain at Zhangba Reservoir One Evening While Enjoying a Cool Breeze with Rich Young Men and Their  Singing Girls-II Du Fu 712-770 Rain drenches the mats Wind beats against the prow Girls from Yue wring out their red skirts Girls from Yue lament their mascara Even with the boat tied to a willow The awning still lifts in the spray The road home looks desolate now On a fall day in May at the lake

Notes: From the book Poems of the Masters, China's Classic Anthology of Tang and Song Dynasty verse. One of the best, if not "the best", books of general translations of Chinese poetry. Wonderfully detailed notes on each poem and all poems are displayed in the original Chinese. Translated by Red Pine, published by Copper Canyon Press.
