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.
