AN AUTUMN EVENING IN THE MOUNTAINS
After rain the empty mountainStands autumnal in the evening,Moonlight in its groves of pine,Stones of crystal in its brooks.Bamboos whisper of washer-girls bound home,Lotus-leaves yield before a fisher-boat—And what does it matter that springtime has gone,While you are here, O Prince of Friends?
