19. THE GIRL OF PA SPEAKS
The water of the River Pa is swift like an arrow;
The boat on the River Pa slips away
As if it had wings.
It will travel in ten days three thousand li.
And you are going, my dear—
Ah, how many years before you return?
The boat on the River Pa slips away
As if it had wings.
It will travel in ten days three thousand li.
And you are going, my dear—
Ah, how many years before you return?
