Nature
At Ch'u-chou on the Western Stream
Translated by Witter Bynner and Kiang Kang-hu (1929) · From The Jade Mountain (1929)
Nature
Where tender grasses rim the stream
And deep boughs trill with mango-birds,
On the spring flood of last night's rain
The ferry-boat moves as though someone were poling.
