Windy and rainy days - what a chilly wheat-harvesting season,/

Fortunately, I can depend upon you, my friend, to send me consolation -/
"Pine-lard" wind, and meat with bamboo shoots that never fail to awaken appetite./

The Daoist of the Cloudy Forest, Ni Yuanzhen,/

Which shines on your spirit as always.
