An Elegy

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

Winter and Summer

While it's summer people say
Winter is the better season.
Such is human reason.

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.

The sea,--
Something to look at
When we are angry.

Sake

The jewel which brightly shines at night
Is precious, but cannot measure up
To the delights of drinking sake,
Drowning one's troubles in the cup.
