Pine Trees

What does the old master
Do here?
By the side of the rock
He is hunting for a new verse.
Suddenly a cool breeze
Blows from the pine tree;
Silently and quietly it
Purifies his spirit and thought.

- Shih t'ao (1641-1717)

Perfect melody ---
Like the wind
Among the pines
On far-off slopes.
Mind's washed sky clean
Hear It beyond Itself.

In the woods is perpetual youth.
