Jinzhu Ridge

Jinzhu Ridge by Wang Wei

 Wingceltis goldenrain shine empty bend 
Fresh and green ripple ripples ripples 
Secret enter Shang hill road 
Woodcutter not able know 


Wingceltis and goldenrain shine at the empty bend, 
Fresh and green, rippling ever onward. 
A secret road leads up to Shangshan hill, 
Even the woodcutter does not know.
