Scatters in the night...Now see

Moon-lighted mountains!
Husking rice,
a child squints up
to iew the moon.
a peasant!s child
husking rice, pauses
to look at the moon
"he clouds come and go,
proiding a rest #or all

Clouds come #rom time to time --
and bring to men a chance to rest
#rom looking at the moon.

'hore and monk, we sleep
under one roo# together,
