VI
The T‘ao Yao; allusive. Praise of a bride going to her future home.
1Graceful and young the peach tree stands;
How rich its flowers, all gleaming bright!
This bride to her new home repairs;
Chamber and house she'll order right. p. 7
How rich its flowers, all gleaming bright!
This bride to her new home repairs;
Chamber and house she'll order right. p. 7
2Graceful and young the peach tree stands;
Large crops of fruit it soon will show.
This bride to her new home repairs;
Chamber and house her sway shall know.
3Graceful and young the peach tree stands,
Its foliage clustering green and full.
This bride to her new home repairs;
Her household will attest her rule.
