As Fall Begins, I Look Within

Li Yi (746-829)
 
 
Ten thousand fears have come to fix my life,
As on this mirrored shore I gaze uneased—
Here all I see has turned my temples white
And now it’s time to face the autumn breeze.
 
 

Chinese   立秋前一日覽鏡 李益   萬事銷身外 生涯在鏡中 唯將滿鬢雪 明日對秋風

Pronunciation   Lì Qiū Qián Yī Rì Lǎn Jìng
