Dewdrops on a Lotus Leaf by John Stevens

Language: eng

Along the hedge a few branches of golden mums;
Winter crows soar above the thick woods.
A thousand peaks glow brilliantly in the sunset,
And this monk returns home with a full bowl.
No luck today on my mendicant rounds;
From village to village I dragged myself.
At sunset I find myself with miles of mountains between me and my hut.
The wind tears at my frail body,
And my little bowl looks so forlorn—
Yet this is my chosen path that guides me
Through disappointment and pain, cold and hunger.
