Poetry & Reflections

Yu Lin (Bestowing Rain)

Taking and giving with measure; rain of blessing, sweet rain

My heart would pierce straight through the azure vault;

gazing far along ten thousand li of cloud-road.

At this hour wind and thunder first shake and stir;

the steady rain naturally joins to moisten the withered seedlings.
