A Poem By Ryokan


It's a pity, a gentleman in refined retirement
.......composing poetry:
He models his work on the classic verse of China,
And his poems are elegant, full of fine phrases.
But if you don't write of things deep inside your own
.......heart,
What's the use of churning out so many words?
