Sighs of Autumn Rain (3) by Du Fu
Chang'an commoner who notice Be locked in weigh gate watch surround wall Old people not go grow weeds Child without worry walk wind rain Rain sound sough and sigh hasten early cold West goose wing wet high fly hard Autumn come have not see white sun Mud dirt after earth what time dry
In Chang'an, who notices the cloth-gowned scholar? Locked behind his gate and guarding his walls. The old man doesn't go out, the weeds grow tall, Children blithely rush through wind and rain. The rustling rain hastens the early cold, And geese with wet wings find high flying hard. This autumn we've had no glimpse of the white sun, When will the mud and dirt become dry earth?
