Ten Thousand Flower-Flames
They cannot wait for me
On her way to see the Lord SupremeMother-Earth cannot wait for me
Because
I am too proud.
On his way to see the Lord Supreme
Father-Heaven cannot wait for me
Because
I am too impure.
On its way to see the Lord Supreme
My soul-bird cannot wait for me
Because
I am too slow.
