THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 249 by HAN SHAN

First Line: WHY AM I SO TROUBLED
Last Line: ENTRUST MYSELF TO THE HILLS FOR GOOD
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; GRIEF; LIFE; SORROW; SADNESS;

Why am I so troubled
life is a one-day mushroom
what good is another decade
with friends and family gone
thinking of this makes me sad
and sadness I can't bear
what then shall I do
entrust myself to the hills for good
