THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 32 by HAN SHAN

First Line: WHO TAKES THE COLD MOUNTAIN ROAD
Last Line: AND SIT WITH ME IN THE CLOUDS
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; MOUNTAINS; ROADS; HILLS; DOWNS (GREAT BRITAIN); PATHS; TRAILS;

Who takes the Cold Mountain Road
takes a road that never ends
the rivers are long and piled with rocks
the streams are wide and choked with grass
it's not the rain that makes the moss slick
and it's not the wind that makes the pines moan
who can get past the tangles of the world
and sit with me in the clouds
