Tangshi V. 1. (129)

©s ¯E µM Meng Haoran
From Qin Country to the Buddhist Priest Yuan

How gladly I would seek a mountain
If I had enough means to live as a recluse!
For I turn at last from serving the State
To the Eastern Woods Temple and to you, my master.
...Like ashes of gold in a cinnamon-flame,
My youthful desires have been burnt with the years-
And tonight in the chilling sunset-wind
A cicada, singing, weighs on my heart.

Bynner 129
