The poem "Rain Beats the Bananas and Listens to the Rain" is as follows:
Who planted the banana trees in front of the window? The courtyard is filled with shade. The atrium is filled with shadow. The leaves are heartfelt, and the scrolls are still clear. It rains in the middle of the night on the sad pillow, and it rains every bit. Bit by bit. I am worried that the people from the north are not used to getting up and listening. The whole poem "The Rain Beats the Bananas and I Listen to the Rain" is from "Tian Zi Chou Nuer Who Plants Banana Trees in front of the Window" written by Li Qingzhao in the Song Dynasty.
Translation: I don’t know who planted the banana tree in front of the window, and a thick shade covered the entire courtyard. The leaves and the ever-expanding leaf hearts are in love with each other, covering the courtyard one by one. I was full of sadness and couldn't fall asleep, but it happened that it started raining again at the third watch, and it kept ringing. The patter of rain kept beating on my heart. I couldn't get used to it, so I put on my clothes and got up.
