THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 107 by HAN SHAN

First Line: MY SCROLLS ARE FILLED WITH THE POEMS OF IMMORTALS
Last Line: AND HUM A VERSE OR TWO
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; POETRY & POETS; QUIET LIFE;

My scrolls are filled with the poems of immortals
my jugs overflow with the wine of sages
out working I love to watch buffalo calves
at home I don't go far
and when cold dew soaks my thatched caves
and moonlight lights my crockery sill
I sip a couple of cups
and hum a verse or two
