	inscription:	Artist's inscription, signature, and seal:

White clouds surround red trees; 
Mist has already returned to the valley.
Why not rest and let your mind be at peace with the world.
With solidarity ch'in [lute] sit in the river pavilion.
An old friend is expected but doesn't show up;
The day is cold, with maple leaves falling.
