THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 74 by HAN SHAN

First Line: WHAT'S THIS CRYING FOR
Last Line: THE SIX PATHS DON'T EXCITE ME
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; DEATH; GRIEF; DEAD, THE; SORROW; SADNESS;

What's this crying for
these tears as big as pearls
parting is certain
and loss will come again
the reason we're so poor
we're still blind to karma
shoulder the corpse to the graveyard
the Six Paths don't excite me
