Spring is here, you know?

The five-character stanza of spring.

Joyful Rain on a Spring Night

Du Fu

Good rain knows the time,

when spring is happening.

With the wind, the night,

Runs silently.

The path is dark with clouds,

and the fire on the riverboat is bright.

When I look at the red wet place,

Flower heavy Jin Guan Cheng.
