THE POEMS OF PICKUP: 46 by HAN SHAN

First Line: THE PINE MOON LOOKS SO COLD
Last Line: THE SEVEN JEWELS CAN'T COMPARE
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; MOON;

The pine moon looks so cold
cloud after rising cloud
countless rings of ridges
the view extends a million miles
the gorge pool looks so clear
like gazing into a mirror
precious creature of the spirit tower
the seven jewels can't compare
