Summer to Autumn

Like a holy Buddha
In a shrine of gold,
The morning sun rests in the depths
Of the field of rape-seed flowers.

At the time when the mists are heavy
And the cuckoo sings,
A wild columbine shivers
By the stone wall.

The early cherry bloom in my garden
Is like a maiden on a pilgrimage.
When the wind blows, she weeps.

The wind has risen,
And the white morning glories sway
Like the lips of an echo.
