Nature
A Message to Han Cho the Yang-chou Magistrate
Translated by Witter Bynner and Kiang Kang-hu (1929) · From The Jade Mountain (1929)
Nature
There are faint green mountains and far green waters,
And grasses in this river region not yet faded by autumn;
And clear in the moon on the Twenty-Four Bridges,
Girls white as jade are teaching flute-music.
