A Poem Making Fun of Chi-ti for His Eye Illness

Sleepless, you hear the neighboring temple bell,
the sound seems to brighten your ears!
When you chant poems at night you must avoid gazing
at the moon;
when you walk in the morning you must keep your back
to the wind.
All images seem to appear in a haze,
the mountains are shrouded in fog.
You try going out — and crash into the door;
you must ask the children whether it's night or it's day!
