The sage's dance
A. Farwell
On my flute, tipped with jade,
I sang a song to mortals;
but the mortals did not understand.
Then I lifted my flute to the heavens,
and I sang my song to the Sages.
The Sages rejoiced together,
they danced on the glistening clouds.
And now mortals understand me,
when I sing to the accompaniment
of my flute tipped with jade.
