PASSING TIEN-MĒN STREET IN CH'ANG-AN AND SEEING A DISTANT VIEW OF CHUNG-NAN[1] MOUNTAIN

The snow has gone from Chung-nan; spring is almost come.
Lovely in the distance its blue colours, against the brown of the streets.
A thousand coaches, ten thousand horsemen pass down the Nine Roads;
Turns his head and looks at the mountains, — not one man!

  1. Part of the great Nan Shan range, fifteen miles south of Chang'an.
