Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCEFGHI JKLMNOPQRST UVCFWMXY| Whence these twelve peaks of Wu shan | A |
| Have they flown into the gorgeous screen | B |
| From heaven's one corner | C |
| Ah those lonely pines murmuring in the wind | D |
| Those palaces of Yang tai hovering yonder | C |
| Oh the melancholy of it | E |
| Where the jeweled couch of the king | F |
| With brocade covers is desolate | G |
| His elfin maid voluptuously fair | H |
| Still haunting them in vain | I |
| - | |
| Here a few feet | J |
| Seem a thousand miles | K |
| The craggy walls glisten blue and red | L |
| A piece of dazzling embroidery | M |
| How green those distant trees are | N |
| Round the river strait of Ching men | O |
| And those ships they go on | P |
| Floating on the waters of Pa | Q |
| The water sings over the rocks | R |
| Between countless hills | S |
| Of shining mist and lustrous grass | T |
| - | |
| How many years since these valley flowers bloomed | U |
| To smile in the sun | V |
| And that man traveling on the river | C |
| Hears he not for ages the monkeys screaming | F |
| Whoever looks on this | W |
| Loses himself in eternity | M |
| And entering the sacred mountains of Sung | X |
| He will dream among the resplendent clouds | Y |
