Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn
by Wu Men Hui-k'ai
English version by Stephen Mitchell
Original Language Chinese
Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.
