Im Bambushain
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Chinese (中文)
Im Bambus gibt es keine Menschen, im Bambus sitze ich allein. Hier stimme ich leise die Laute an, hier pfeife ich für mich allein. Wer, sagt ihr Leute, wer weiß, wo ich im Bambus sitze, allein ? Wo ich im Bambus allein sitze und auf den Aufgang der Mondsichel durch den Bambus schaue.
