Nature
In the Mountains on a Summer Day
Translated by Arthur Waley (1919) · From More Translations from the Chinese (1919)
Nature
Gently I stir a white feather fan,
With open shirt sitting in a green wood.
I take off my cap and hang it on a jutting stone;
A wind from the pine-trees trickles on my bare head.
