Green Mountain

– Li Po. Translated by: A. S. Kline’s

You ask me why I live on Green Mountain ?

I smile in silence and the quiet mind.
Peach petals blow on mountain streams
To earth and skies beyond Humankind.

.

You ask me why I dwell in the green mountain?

I smile and make no reply for my heart is free of care.
As the peach-blossom flows down stream
and is gone into the unknown,
I have a world apart that is not among men.
