THE POEMS OF PICKUP: 23 by HAN SHAN

First Line: I WAS PICKUP FROM THE FIRST
Last Line: COUNT THE TIMES THE YELLOW RIVER HAS CLEARED
Subject(s): BROTHERS; CHINESE LITERATURE; YELLOW RIVER, CHINA; HALF-BROTHERS;

I was Pickup from the first
no accidental name
no other close relation
Cold Mountain is my brother
our two hearts are both alike
neither can endure the herd
if you want to know our ages
count the times the Yellow River has cleared
