<Poem>
晚年唯好靜，
萬事不關心。
自顧無長策，
空知返舊林。
松風吹解帶，
山月照彈琴。
君問窮通理，
漁歌入浦深。
<End Poem>
<Translation>
As the years go by, give me but peace,
Freedom from ten thousand matters.
I ask myself and always answer:
What can be better than coming home?
A wind from the pine-trees blows my sash,
And my lute is bright with the mountain moon.
You ask me about good and evil fortune? ...
Hark, on the lake there's a fisherman singing!
<End Translation>
