The Four Frontiers

In this life, flowers will seal my body, and kisses will settle the score;

if plum blossoms endure through the years, they will consecrate the four corners of heaven and earth.

I will walk the thorn-covered road for you; I will guard the love that lasts a lifetime for you; I will see through this world of earthly temptations for you.

For ten years,

I searched every hill, but never found the herb I needed.
