Religion
On Parting with the Buddhist Pilgrim Ling-ch'ê
Translated by Witter Bynner and Kiang Kang-hu (1929) · From The Jade Mountain (1929)
Religion
From the temple, deep in its tender bamboos,
Comes the low sound of an evening bell,
While the hat of a pilgrim carries the sunset
Farther and farther down the green mountain.
