First Line: AT THE TIME WHEN BLOSSOMS Last Line: "I SAID I MUST GO, / BECAUSE MY SILKWORMS WERE HUNGRY" Subject(s): CHINA - MIDDLE AGES (600 B.C.- 618 A.D.);
AT the time when blossoms Fall from the cherry-tree: On a day when yellow birds Hovered in the branches -- You said you must stop, Because your horse was tired: I said I must go, Because my silkworms were hungry.
