"Greeting the Immortal Guest", Three Songs 1 No tricks Nothing doing the sun and moon endure their rush and don't grow old sail backwards? paddle against the flow? to hell with that you'd better be known as being quiet. 2 Light wind in bamboo deep flower shadows, drinking a cup of strong brew, striking a couple of lute chords reveal world's dark contrivance hoard marvels I may use dream an empire of ant wake to know the world is vapour is a dream. 3 My home's in the flowering mountain my joy is purest idleness in a rush hut by a blue grotto at the end of a crazy winding path at noon I take a simple meal and when I'm full I take my staff and wander to the mountaintop and gaze. |
