Great Wall Beauty
Great Wall Beauty
A snake crossing the tallest peak
Marching horses echo between stone walls
As do marching feet of soldiers
Whole day march then drink
Strike fire roast rabbit
Brew tea exchange tales
Making out the dim glow of a distant guardhouse
Beside green plots small huts
A horsecart traverses between
Large and small smoke puffs signal a message
Receiving this a horseman Gallops off
like the wind flies to The Palace Gate
