THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 219 by HAN SHAN

First Line: PEOPLE WHO WANDER AMONG CLOUDS
Last Line: IN SPRING THE BIRDS KUAN-KUAN
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; CLIMBING; MOUNTAINS; HILLS; DOWNS (GREAT BRITAIN);

People who wander among clouds
don't have to buy the hills
for steep descents you need a staff
and a vine for the sheerer climbs
streamside pines are always green
shoreline rocks are every color
although friends might stay away
in spring the birds @3kuan-kuan@1
