Zenrinkushu - Eicho (1429-1504)

To be able to trample upon the Great Void,
The iron cow must sweet.

It is like a tiger, but with many horns;
Like a cow, but it has no tail.

Meeting, the two friends laugh and laugh;
In the grove, fallen leaves are many.

The voice of the fountain after midnight;
The colours of the hills at sunsetting.

The cries of the monkeys echo through the dense forest;
In the clear water, the wild geese are mirrored deep.
