II

LI PO, 701-762

Spotting the moonlight at my bedside,

I wonder if it is frost on the ground.

After raising my head to look at the bright moon,

I lower it to think of my old country.

III

LIU CHUNG-YUAN, 773-819

The birds have flown away from the mountains,

The sign of men has gone from all the paths,

But under a lone sail stoops an old fisherman,

Angling in the down-pouring snow.

IV

HO CHIH-CHANG, 659-744

Returning after I left my home in childhood,

I have kept my native accent but not the color of my hair.

Facing the smiling children who shyly approach me,

I am asked from where I come.
