THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 224 by HAN SHAN

First Line: I ENJOY THE SIMPLE PATH
Last Line: UNTIL THE MOON COMES UP COLD MOUNTAIN
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; MOUNTAINS; ROADS; HILLS; DOWNS (GREAT BRITAIN); PATHS; TRAILS;

I enjoy the simple path
between dark vines and mountain caves
the wilderness has room to roam
with white clouds for companions
there's a road but not to town
only mindless men can climb
at night I sit on the rocks alone
until the moon comes up Cold Mountain
