Su Tung-P'o (1037-1101)



Impromptu Verse, again


Su Tung-P’o

1037-1101 CE
(translated by William P. Coleman)

With white hair that the wind’s blown — frosted, loose —
in this small pavilion, I lie on a rattan mat seeming sick.

The doctor says spring sleep is beautiful;
The Taoist softly rings the bell for 5th watch.
