Mountain Path

山行


Mountain Path


杜牧


By, Du Mu


Translated by Yoyo


遠上寒山石徑斜


Far up the winter mountain the rocky road slopes


白雲深處有人家


Deep within the white clothes are families


停車坐愛楓林晚


I stop my carriage and sit loving the maple night


霜葉紅於二月花


The dew leaves are more red than second month flowers

***This is one of the first poems I learned in Chinese school that wasn't pandering to children.  The image of the tiny house in a mountain of maple still has a strong impression on me.
