SEEING THAT WHITE-HAIRED OLD MAN LEGEND DESCRIBES IN COUNTRY GRASSES

After wine, I go out into the fields,
wander open country— singing,

asking myself how green grass
could be a white-haired old man.

But looking into a bright mirror,
I see him in my failing hair too.

Blossom scent seems to scold me.
I let grief go, and face east winds.
