Autumn Rainfall Praise Shi Jie
秋 雨 叹 十 解
不 是 檐 声 不 妨 眼
只 将 愁 思 压 衰 年。
道 他 滴 沥 浑 无 赖
不 到 侯 门 舞 袖 边!
Qiu Yu Tan Shi Jie
Bu shi yan sheng bu fang yan
Zhi jiang cou si ya shuai nian.
Daota di li hun wu lai
Bu dao hou men wu xiu bian!
Autumn Rainfall Praise Shi Jie
Not the eave sounds, not the broad scenic views
Lonely and melancholy thinking of the weight of my declining years.
Dripping water and my thoughts fall down to things muddy
High officials behind palace gates dancing with sleeves floating about.
