Return To Nature (I)
---by Tao Yuanming
While young, I was not used to worldly cares,
And hills became my natural compeers,
But by mistakes I fell in mundane snares
And thus entangled was for thirteen years.
A caged bird would long for wonted wood,
And fish in tanks for native pools would yearn.
Go back to till my southern fields I would.

The Roadside Mulberry
The rising sun from southeast nooks
Shines on the house of Qin, who
Has a daughter of lovely looks;
She calls herself Luo-fu.
She picks mulberry leaves still new
To feed silkworms in southern nook,
Her basket's bound with silk thread blue,
Of laurel bough is made a hook.

Beyond the pool of water-lilies, the noise of faint thunder.

A tiger of jade pulls the rope. Draw from the well and escape.

Fairy Of The Magpie Bridge
---Qin Guan [ Song Dynasty (960-1279)]
Among the beautiful clouds,
Over the heavenly river,
Crosses the weaving maiden.
A night of rendezvous,
Across the autumn sky.

Is the base from which Heaven and Earth sprang.
It is there within us all the while;
