THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 67 by HAN SHAN

First Line: THE YELLOW RIVER IS BOUNDLESS
Last Line: YOU MAKE AN EFFORT MOVING OR STILL
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; YELLOW RIVER, CHINA;

The Yellow River is boundless
flowing east without cease
on and on never clearing
while everyone's lifespan ends
and if you would ride the clouds
how will you grow wings
unless while your hair is black
you make an effort moving or still
