Melody on Autumn Mountains

Du Mu

The rocky path sloped far up the chilly mountains.

There stood some cottages

where white clouds had risen.

I stopped my cart, sitting therein to enjoy

looking at the lovely maple trees at dusk.

The red colour of the maple leaves with frost was deeper than

that of "Second Moon flowers".

山行

远上寒山石径斜，白云深处有人家。(深处一作：生处) 停车坐爱枫林晚，霜叶红于二月花。
