THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 63 by HAN SHAN

First Line: IN LOYANG SO MANY GIRLS
Last Line: OR THINKING OF HUSBANDS AT HOME
Subject(s): BEAUTY; CHINESE LITERATURE; GIRLS; MARRIAGE; WEDDINGS; HUSBANDS; WIVES;
In Loyang so many girls
on a spring day show off their charms
in groups picking roadside flowers
sticking them high in their hair
high in their hair the flowers wind round
someone speaks and they all look down
looking elsewhere for a gentler love
or thinking of husbands at home
