The blue mountains
In the blue mountains
Passions do not rise high.
The mountains gently shake
Shimmering silver oaks off
The wind in their hair.
The matronly mountains
Squat pretty in the valleys
Wearing their best velvets.
The air here is tea-fragrant
As magical woman-fingers
Pluck two leaves and a bud
And hurl them into baby-baskets.
