IN THE DIAMOND MOUNTAINS
(Seven character, Quatrain)




The rhyme is yang/chang/kang. Tones match.



The study of letters turned my hair white;

       the sword brought me to the twilight of life.

Heaven and earth are eternal,

       my bitterness just as long.

I drink ten jars of red Seoul wine.

In the autumn breeze I hide behind my rainhat

      and head into the Diamond Mountains.
