Sunrise shining on the high peak; traces of snow
Treated to black tea, the autumn night grows late
Mountain peak at my shoulder, thousand barracks under an autumn moon1
Echoes calling back and forth, autumn waters shiver
Autumn colors descending into the valley stop at the stream
Autumn barracks spreading across the high peak’s foothills
