年 老 Old Age

         一本書高擱以後  After a book is shelved

     不知要到哪天才找獲  Who knows when he will again find

          拉起弓射出之前  When a bow is drawn

  找不到標的，也丟失了箭  He forgets target, and loses his arrow

          聽風在林梢穿過  Hearing the wind combs the forest

      便隨著它，出神去遠  He is carried away and drafts his thought

        看夕陽落海的美景  Facing a wonderful scene of sunset

  卻仰慕一顆顫顫的黃昏星  He admires a flickering evening star, instead
