I’ve met many good people --
Far and wide, they walk
In the dust along the pathway
Of their trades and fates.
If they are unaware
Of the worldly affairs,
How can they ford
The torrential flow of being?
Prosperity and glory
Can be kept a while only;
The family dependants --
Just for some time are in the flock.
Even if I had a million in cash,
It is not as good as being penniless
Here, in the retired mountains,
Where with others I rejoice
In the fellowship of Nature
And preserve it in myself.
