The Jade Mountain/Answering Vice-prefect Chang

​

ANSWERING VICE-PREFECT CHANG
As the years go by, give me but peace,Freedom from ten thousand matters.I ask myself and always answer:What can be better than coming home?A wind from the pine-trees blows my sash,And my lute is bright with the mountain moon.You ask me about good and evil fortune? . . .Hark, on the lake there's a fisherman singing!
