wine's pleasure,
love's intoxication,
work's obsession,
children's involvement,
age's sorrow.
when will craving end?
originally there was nothing.
it is to nothing that we return.

One may think of it as mother
Of all things under heaven.
Its true name I do not know;
'Tao' is the nickname I give it.
