黑雲壓郊茆屋摧，
大風拔木勢危哉。
破壁驚雷從地起，
長淮飛雨渡江來。
拍戶打牕聲作惡，
斂襟孤坐意徘徊。
雨餘蘭雪渾無恙，
吹倒琅玕挽不回。
Black clouds weigh heavy beyond the city walls, crushing the thatched huts,
With gusts that uproot the trees – what peril is to come!
Wall-breaking blasts of thunder rise from the earth;
From the long Huai [River], rain comes flying across the waters.
Beating upon the doors, striking against the windows: so dreadful are the sounds;
[I] draw my robe close and sit alone, my mind in contemplation.
After the rain, the snow of orchids appears undisturbed,
While the fine bamboo felled by the wind is gone forever.
