by Li-Tai-Po (701 - 762)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Ikuinen runo
Language: Finnish (Suomi)  after the Chinese (中文) 
Maalaan kirjaimia. Yksinäistä, hiljaisuus.
Meren lailla aaltoo bambu. Helmiketjun siveltimein luopi,
kuultoon paperin, kuvaa säkeen, jonka hetki tuopi.
Kuin lumeen kylvettäisi luumunkukkain kirjavuus.

Naiskainalonko kuopasta ei haihtuis pois
lemu mandariinin? Kauan paistettako voisi hanki kestää?
Voisinpa nää säkeet unhoon haipumasta estää,
ikuinen jos niissä tuoksu nuori ois!
