Who planted the Bajiao tree under my windows? <br />Its shade fills the courtyard; <br />Its shade fills the courtyard... <br /> <br />Leaf to leaf, heart to heart, <br /> folding and unfolding, <br />It expresses boundless affection. <br /> <br />Sad and broken-hearted, lying awake on my pillow, <br /> Late into the night <br /> I hear the sound of rain. <br /> <br />It drips and splashes, cool and melancholy; <br />It drips and splashes, cool and melancholy.... <br /> <br />Lonely for my beloved, grief-stricken, <br /> I cannot endure the mournful sound <br /> of rain.<br /><br />Li Ching Chao<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tz-u-no-16-bajiao/
