To find pleasure in life, make the most of the spring.
I bow in reverence to the white cloud.
Since Life is but a Dream, Why toil to no avail?
Bears, dragons, tempestuous on mountain and river, Startle the forest and make the heights tremble. Clouds darken beneath the darkness of rain, streams pale with a pallor of mist. The gods of Thunder and Lightning Shatter the whole range.
Forever and forever and forever
The birds have vanished into the sky, and now the last cloud drains away. We sit together, the mountain and me, until only the mountain remains.
