Confucius - A Man`s Praise Of His WifeConfucius - A Man`s Praise Of His Wife
Work rating: Low


My path forth from the east gate lay,   Where cloud-like moved the girls at play.   Numerous are they, as clouds so bright,   But not on them my heart`s thoughts light.   Dressed in a thin white silk, with coiffure gray   Is she, my wife, my joy in life`s low way.   Forth by the covering wall`s high tower,   I went, and saw, like rush in flower,   Each flaunting girl. Brilliant are they,   But not with them my heart`s thoughts stay.   In thin white silk, with head-dress madder-dyed,   Is she, my sole delight, `foretime my bride.
