THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 116 by HAN SHAN

First Line: WHOSE WINE SHOP IS THIS AGLOW
Last Line: THEY GROWL AND OFF HE RUNS
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; DRINKS & DRINKING; WINE;

Whose wine shop is this aglow
their wine is rich and strong
colored pennants flap above
their pints are always fair
why then is their business bad
their place is full of dogs
a lad comes in to buy
they growl and off he runs
