| Forty li through Chü-yang Pass |
|
|
| The Sage has the Six Classics |
|
|
| All my friends can write them |
|
|
| While an official, I never wrote lyrics |
|
|
| Don't ask about the Six Dynasties of the Sui Palace |
|
|
| One morning I call for a sedan-chair man |
|
|
| I've given up poetry — mdash;I have no new manuscripts |
|
|
| The Wind sighs in the reeds — autumn on the rustic shore |
|
|
| You think I am happy |
|
|
| Just a few feet away, a temple from the Six Dynasties |
|
