THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 83 by HAN SHAN

First Line: I HAVE A COAT
Last Line: YEARLONG ONLY THIS
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; CLOTHING & DRESS;
I have a coat
neither sheer nor twilled silk
what color you ask
neither red nor purple
in summer it serves as a shirt
in winter it serves as a shawl
winter and summer always in use
yearlong only this
