"I wanted to go off to the eastern cliff--
how many years now I\'ve planned the trip?
Yesterday, I pulled myself up by the vines,
but wind and fog forced me to stop halfway.
The path was narrow, and my clothes kept catching,
the moss so spongy I couldn\'t move my feet,
So I stopped under this red cinnamon tree.
I guess I\'ll lay my head on a cloud and sleep."
