TZU-TEG SONG: 4, by ANONYMOUS
First Line: I heard my love was going to yang-chou
Last Line: For a moment when you held me fast in your outstretched arms/I thought the river stood still and did
Subject(s): China - Middle Ages (600 B.c.- 618 A.d.)

I heard my love was going to Yang-chou
And went with him as far as Ch'u-shan.
For a moment when you held me fast in your outstretched arms
I thought the river stood still and did not flow.
