春夜喜雨
杜 甫
好雨知时节，当春乃发生。
随风潜入夜，润物细无声。
野径云俱黑，江船火独明。
晓看红湿处，花重锦官城。

A Blessing Rain on a Spring Night
By DU Fu
Tr. ZHAO Yanchun
A good rain knows its time to come,
And brings things to life right in spring.
It steals into the night with wind
And mutely moistens everything.
Over wild paths, clouds are all black,
A boat afloat, its lone fire bright.
At daybreak one sees wet and red;
Flowers in Brocade Town make a sight.
*Brocade Town: alias Silkton, Chengdu, a city once prosperous with fine silk, now the capital of Sichuan Province.
