李益 Li Yi: 江南曲 Jiang Nan Qu (Song of the Land South of the River)
I’m married to a merchant, we live in Qutang Gorge, yet
Time after time he fails me: to return by the day he’d said.
I’m married to a merchant, we live in Qutang Gorge, yet
Time after time he fails me: to return by the day he’d said.
O had I known this River, as ever, floods on time,
I might have had married a river-boat sailor instead.
