The Original Text and Translation of Jihai Miscellaneous Poems (V)

The vast sadness leaves the sky, and the whip points to the horizon. I quit my job and go home, just like a flower falling from a branch, but this is not a heartless thing. It can be turned into the soil of spring and can also play a role in nurturing the next generation.

The sadness of leaving Kyoto is like a wave of water extending to the distance of sunset, and the whip is waving to the east as if people are at the end of the world. Falling flowers on the branches are not heartless things. Even if they turn into spring mud, they are willing to cultivate beautiful spring flowers to grow.
