A cold wind blows from the far sky. . . .
What are you thinking of, old friend?
The wildgeese never answer me.
Rivers and lakes are flooded with rain.
. . . A poet should beware of prosperity,
Yet demons can haunt a wanderer.
Ask an unhappy ghost, throw poems to him
Where he drowned himself in the Mi-lo River.
