      River Snow

        by Liu Zongyuan

       A hundred mountains and no bird,

       A thousand paths without a footprint;

       A little boat, a bamboo cloak,

       An old man fishing in the cold river-snow

Translated by Witter Bynner

River Snow is a poem written by poet Du Mu from the Tang Dynasty, It describes a picture of a cold river in the ice and snow, with no pedestrians or birds, only an old man alone in a lonely boat, silently fishing. In order to express the poet's unyielding and deep loneliness after being hit.
