Tangshi V. 1. (127)

©s ¯E µM Meng Haoran
On Returning at the Year's End to Zhongnan Mountain

I petition no more at the north palace-gate.
...To this tumble-down hut on Zhongnan Mountain
I was banished for my blunders, by a wise ruler.
I have been sick so long I see none of my friends.
My white hairs hasten my decline,
Like pale beams ending the old year.
Therefore I lie awake and ponder
On the pine-shadowed moonlight in my empty window.

Bynner 127
