Out of the east you visit me,
With the rain of Baling still on your clothes,
I ask you what you have come here for;
You say: "To buy an ax for cutting wood in the mountains"
...Hidden deep in a haze of blossom,
Swallow fledglings chirp at ease
As they did when we parted, a year ago....
How grey our temples have grown since them!
Away from the east, on clothing Baling rain. Q. What is coming off, because buying mining mountain ax. Jis flowers are open, Yang Yang Yan new milk. Do exercises had last spring, coming from raw silk strands.
