惊回首，离天三尺三。

其二

山，倒海翻江卷巨澜。
奔腾急，万马战犹酣。

THREE SHORT POEMS
--to the tune of Shih Liu Tzu Ling
1934-1935
Mountains!
I whip my swift horse, glued to my saddle.
I turn my head startled,
The sky is three foot three above me!*

Mountains!
Like great waves surging in a crashing sea,
Like a thousand stallions
In full gallop in the heat of battle.

Mountains!
Piercing the blue of heaven, your barbs unblunted!
The skies would fall
But for your strength supporting.
