Singing Over Drinking Wine

My cottage is built in the secular world, But the hustle and bustle is unheard. How can I maintain such a calm heart? A secluded mind can find a place apart. Picking chrysanthemum by the eastern fence, I enjoy the sight of the southern hill thence. Inhaling fresh mountain air in the twilight, I walk home along with the birds in flight. This is the true meaning of life indeed, But I fail to find the right words in need. (Tran.)
