With no walking stick,
how distant seem the mountains,
how narrow my path!
Path
On the stony path
how carefully I travel
with my walking stick.
Soldier
A lonely soldier,
thinking of autumn back home,
still sticks to his post.
Tapping
Tapping with a stick,
the blind woman makes her way
through the garden gate.
Hat
straw hat on a stick—
one look, and ravenous crows
flap to the next field
Walking Stick
Bring your walking stick
to test the course before you—
hot and high the winds.
