The Kanshi Poems of Taigu Ryōkan Translated by Mei Hui Liu Huang & Larry Smith
Honoring the Tomb of Shi Yo
[…]
And then we parted
and lost our bond.
By the time I returned you had already joined the earth.
How can I face your soul?

The mountain meadows are filled with pines.
I have lingered so long here
my clothes are damp with tears.
