Flower Dance (of Bingo Provice)

If you want to meet me, love,

Only we twain,
Come to the gate, love,
Sunshine or rain;
And if people pry
Say that you came, love,
To watch who went by.

If you want to meet me, love,
Only you and I,
Come to the pine-tree, love
Clouds or clear sky;
Stand among the spikelets, love,
And if folks ask why,
Say that you came, love,
To catch a butterfly.

Marriage Vow

O, celestial beings
Let our feelings for each other
Continue without diminishing
Only when mountains are leveled
To basins, when ocean waters run
Dry, when winter is ripped
With thunders, when the summer sky
Rains snow, and heaven and earth
Are smashed together, shall we
Ever dare to be parted.

--Unknown Chinese Poet, Han Dynasty

(206 B.C.- A.D. 221)
