Translation of 山行—a poem by Du Mu (803-852 C.E., Tang Dynasty):

Far away on the cold mountain,
a stone path slants upwards,
In the white clouds is a village,
where people have their homes.
I stop the carriage,
loving the maple wood in the evening,
The frosted leaves are redder
than the second month's flowers.

遠 上 寒 山 石 徑 斜
白 雲 生 處 有 人 家
停 車 坐 愛 楓 林 晚
霜 葉 紅 于 二 月 花
