Writing My Feelings Facing the Rain, I Rush to Send Off an Invitation to Assistant Magistrate【1】 Xu
From the Eastern Marchmount cloud-peaks rise,
then they billow【2】 out to fill the Great Void【3】.
Peals【4】 of thunder send swallows winging from the curtains,
a sudden downpour【5】 makes river fish sink down.
The “worthy’s ale” faces where I sit,
I listen for my senior’s carriage at the gate.
Having invited you, I feel bad about the mud and mire【6】,
so ride your horse all the way to my stairs.
