The Yin Ch‘i Lei; allusive. A lady's admiration of her husband absent on public service, and her longing for his return.

1Grand in the south the thunder rolls,
  Beyond that lofty hill.
Why must he go, nor dare to stay
  Brief space at rest and still?
Absent my noble lord I mourn,
May he return! May he return!

2Grand in the south the thunder rolls
  Along that mountain's side.
Why must he go from this, nor dare
  Brief time at rest to bide?
Absent my noble lord I mourn,
May he return! may he return!

3Grand in the south the thunder rolls,
  Around that mountain's base.
Why must he go from this, nor dare
  Indulge himself a space?
Absent my noble lord I mourn,
May he return! may he return!
