View of Songshan in Henan Province
For Mr. Ling Hu
|
Jia Dao 793-865
With hiking stick
he makes good time in the mountains;
asks everyone he meets,
how far is it to Zizhou.
But the Yangzi's
in fact too far by foot;
and the travelers,
feeling for him, all feel for him.

Jia Dao 793-865
Cèzhàng chí shānyì,
Féngrén wèn Zǐzhōu.
Chāngjiāng nà kědào,
Xíngkè tì shēng chóu.
