Poem: You ask why I make my home in the mountain forest by Li Po

You ask why I make my home in the mountain forest by Li Po
English version by Sam Hamill



You ask why I make my home in the mountain forest,
and I smile, and am silent,
and even my soul remains quiet:
it lives in the other world
which no one owns.
The peach trees blossom,
The water flows.
