THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 22 by HAN SHAN

First Line: MY HOME IS BELOW GREEN CLIFFS
Last Line: I CHANT BENEATH THE TREES
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; HOME; NATURE;

My home is below green cliffs
I don't cut weeds anymore
new vines spiral down
ancient rocks stand straight
monkeys pick the wild fruit
egrets spear the fish
one or two books by immortals
I chant beneath the trees
