    Lover of the soft moonlight
    Reflecting off the midnight water!

The dead, a man come home.
One brief journey betwixt heaven and earth,
Then, alas! we are the same old dust of ten thousand ages.

When the green pines feel the coming of the spring.
Looking back, I sigh; looking before, I sigh again.
