by Hōgai
Ode to the Second Visit to the Red Cliff // On the fifteenth of the tenth month of the same year (1082) I set out on foot from Snow Hall, intending to return to Lin’gao. / Two guests accompanied me as we passed Yellow Dirt Hill. / Dew had fallen and the trees had shed all their leaves. / Our shadows lay on the ground, and we gazed up at the bright moon. / Delighted by our surroundings, we sang back and forth to each other as we walked.
