In the Autumn I was banished.
I am grateful the Emperor banished me.Now I see the moon over the mountains shining.
I am grateful the Emperor banished me.Now I hear the owls in their woodlands calling.
I am grateful the Emperor banished me.Now I watch the carp in their ponds swimming.
All these were lost to me at the Emperor's court.
Three Gratitudes
In the Autumn I was banished.
I am grateful the Emperor banished me.
Now I see the moon over the mountains shining.
I am grateful the Emperor banished me.
Now I hear the owls in their woodlands calling.
I am grateful the Emperor banished me.
Now I watch the carp in their ponds swimming.
All these were lost to me at the Emperor's court.
