Confucius - The Wife Of Some Great Officer Bewails His AbsenceConfucius - The Wife Of Some Great Officer Bewails His Absence
Work rating: Low


Shrill chirp the insects in the grass;     All about the hoppers spring.   While I my husband do not see,     Sorrow must my bosom wring.       O to meet him!       O to greet him!     Then my heart would rest and sing.   Ascending high that Southern hill,     Turtle ferns I strove to get.   While I my husband do not see,     Sorrow must my heart beset.       O to meet him!       O to greet him!     Then my heart would cease to fret.   Ascending high that Southern hill,     Spinous ferns I sought to find.   While I my husband do not see,     Rankles sorrow in my mind.       O to meet him!       O to greet him!     In my heart would peace be shrined.
