History & Politics
Beyond the Border
Translated by Witter Bynner and Kiang Kang-hu (1929) · From The Jade Mountain (1929)
History & Politics
Where a yellow river climbs to the white clouds,
Near the one city-wall among ten-thousand-foot mountains,
A Tartar under the willows is lamenting on his flute
That spring never blows to him through the Jade Pass.
