Sending A Message To Landlord Qiu On An Autumn Evening (Wei Yin Wu)
Thinking of you on an autumn evening
I go for a walk and sing of a cool day
Pine cones fall on the empty mountain
A recluse should not be asleep

員外: landlord
散步: to go for a walk
松子: pine cone

This poem is about someone thinking of a friend living in seclusion.
