Zhao Mengfu (1254-1322)

Year of the goat 4713

The goat, wary, horns
lowered, it holds unsullied
his ground, stands fast, knows:
a promise easy to make
often is hard in keeping.

Año de la cabra 4713
 

La cabra cautelosa, cuernos
agachados mantiene limpio
su suelo, para, sabe:
una promesa fácil de hacer
muchas veces es difícil cumplir.
