by Li-Shê (flourished 9th century)
Translation by Herbert Allen Giles (1845 - 1935)

Language: English  after the Chinese (中文) 
The rainy mist sweeps gently o'er the village by the stream,
And from the leafy forest glades the brigand daggers gleam;
And yet, there is no need to fear, or step from out their way,
For more than half the world consists of bigger rogues than they!
