THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 65 by HAN SHAN

First Line: A GROUP OF GIRLS PLAY IN FADING LIGHT
Last Line: WHITE TEMPLES AND A TREMBLING HEART
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; GAMES; GIRLS; LONGING; RECREATION; PASTIMES; AMUSEMENTS;

A group of girls play in fading light
wind fills the road with perfume
their skirts are embroidered with butterflies of gold
their hair is adorned with ducks of jade
their maids are dressed in red chiffon
their eunuchs in purple brocade
watching is someone who has lost his way
white temples and a trembling heart
