DEER-PARK HERMITAGE
There seems to be no one on the empty mountain . . .And yet I think I hear a voice,Where sunlight, entering a grove,Shines back to me from the green moss.

(103)


IN A RETREAT AMONG BAMBOOS
Leaning alone in the close bamboos,I am playing my lute and humming a songToo softly for anyone to hear—Except my comrade, the bright moon.


A PARTING
Friend, I have watched you down the mountainTill now in the dark I close my thatch door. . . .Grasses return again green in the spring,But O my Prince of Friends, do you?
