A thousand times must we deplore
The lost will never come to life again;
Even as flowing water runs away,
Returning nevermore.

Steadfast Seas and Mountains

The lofty mountains and the seas,
Being mountains, being seas,
Both exist and are real.
But frail as flowers are the lives of men,
Passing phantoms of this world.

The Transitoriness of Life

To what may man's life be compared?
To a boat which rowed away,
Far in the sea, and left no track,
In the morning of the day.
