The earth is black in front of the cliff, and no orchids grow.
Creepers crawl in the brown mud by the path.

To count a few gulls makes the journey happy.
In the reedy bend, under the willow bank,
My wife and children smile with me.
The moment I fall asleep, wind and waves are quiet;
No glory, no disgrace, and not a single worry.
