I rest on the bank of a stream

 

I rest on the bank of a stream Whose water is calm and clear. After rain, the wisterias are clean, The ancient rocks beautiful in the clouds. The new green leaves are lovely, And the falling flowers Are still charming. Green rocks equal embroidered Folding screens, Blue moss replaces a silk cushion. I wonder what else is needed for a life. Sitting with my chin in my hand, I forget to return It's lonely, the sun sets Above the mountain, And evening smoke rises at the Edge of the forest. Choeui Eusoon (1786-1866)
