Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
Indeed, the mountain is snowy
its mighty name
has worldwide fame

my dear dad gave this name to me
Jade, in winter, carved from this Dragon Snow Mountain
personal choice
the mountain with my Dad's voice
constantly singing throughout Yunnan Valley

Yunnan, where my ancestors came from
the Kingdom of Yunnan
ever since the Qing Dynasty
seated on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

its mighty name
has worldwide fame

Yunnan, where my ancestors came from
the Kingdom of Yunnan
ever since the Qing Dynasty
seated on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

its mighty name
has worldwide fame
