Scenes in the Rain in Suzhou
Bing Fu
Time and again, the whole night’s waves woke me up.
The boat has passed the Panmen Gate.
The jasmine is sweet, the Wu songs are tender,
And the umbrellas in the lanes are like mushrooms.
Fresh bamboos shoot new green,
And the Chinese flowering crabapples show their bright red.
Looking at the colorful rushing waves through the bead curtain,
You feel like the boat in a picture.
