A Wife Longs for Her Husband-Tang Poems

                                 By Wang Han

Green, green, the grass by the river,

And in thought I follow it far, far away;

So far that I can hardly picture him,

And yet last night I saw him in a dream.

In a dream he was by my side,

But I woke and he was in a distant land,

A distant land, strange parts;

Tossing and turning I longed for him in vain.

Even a withered mulberry feels the wind,

Even the ocean water feels the cold.

Men come home to fondle their dear ones,

Who would carry word to me?—wang han poems

But a stranger from far away

Brings me two fine carp,

I call the boy to cook them

And find in them a message on white silk.

I kneel to real —

What does his letter say?

“Take good care of your health,” he starts,

And ends, “You are every moment in my thoughts.”
