THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 27 by HAN SHAN

First Line: A MAN WHO LIVES ON ROSE-COLORED CLOUDS
Last Line: HE FORGETS A WHOLE LIFETIME OF SORROW
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; FORGETFULNESS; GRIEF; NATURE; SORROW; SADNESS;

A man who lives on rose-colored clouds
shunned the usual haunts for a home
every season is equally dead
summer is just like fall
a dark stream always babbles
a towering pine wind sighs
sitting here less than one day
he forgets a whole lifetime of sorrow
