Mao Tse-tung - poems - LOUSHAN PASS


LOUSHAN PASS
February 1935


Fierce the west wind, 
Wild geese cry under the frosty morning moon.
 
Under the frosty morning moon
 
Horses' hooves clattering,
 
Bugles sobbing low.
 
Idle boast the strong pass is a wall of iron,
 
With firm strides we are crossing its summit.
 
We are crossing its summit,
 
The rolling hills sea-blue,
 
The dying sun blood-red.
