For the seven lakes, and by no man these verses: br Rain; empty river; a voyage, br Fire from frozen cloud, heavy rain in the twilight br Under the cabin roof was one lantern. br The reeds are heavy; bent; br and the bamboos speak as if weeping. br br Autumn moon; hills rise about lakes br against sunset br Evening is like a curtain of cloud, br a blurr above ripples; and through it br sharp long spikes of the cinnamon, br a cold tune amid reeds. br Behind hill the monk's bell br borne on the wind. br Sail passed here in April; may return in October br Boat fades in silver; slowly; br Sun blaze alone on the river. br br Where wine flag catches the sunset br Sparse chimneys smoke in the cross light br br Comes then snow scur on the river br And a world is covered with jade br Small boat floats like a lanthorn, br The flowing water closts as with cold. And at San Yin br they are a people of leisure. br br Wild geese swoop to the sand-bar, br Clouds gather about the hole of the window br Broad water; geese line out with the autumn br Rooks clatter over the fishermen's lanthorns, br br A light moves on the north sky line; br where the young boys prod stones for shrimp. br In seventeen hundred came Tsing to these hill lakes. br A light moves on the South sky line. br br State by creating riches shd. thereby get into debt? br Thsi is infamy; this is Geryon. br This canal goes still to TenShi br Though the old king built it for pleasure br br K E I M E N R A N K E I br K I U M A N M A N K E I br JITSU GETSU K O K W A br T A N FUKU T A N K A I br br Sun up; work br sundown; to rest br dig well and drink of the water br dig field; eat of the grain br Imperial power is? and to us what is it? br br The fourth; the dimension of stillness. br And the power over wild beasts.
