"The mud has thawed, and swallows fly around, On the warm sand, mandarin ducks are sleeping."

"My heart is in a world of water and crystal, My clothes are damp in this time of spring rains."

"Saddened by the times I weep at the flowers tormented by the partings even the birds startle my heart."

"The country is broken, but mountains and rivers remain."

"Dew is heavy on the grass below, the spider's web is ready. Heaven's ways include the human: among a thousand sorrows, I stand alone."
