The Chinese Wall

The Emperor's daughter
Undressed 
Takes a bath
In the small river


While I ride my horse
Alongside 
The Chinese Wall


The double edged sword
Hardened in twenty fires
Awaits no use
Peace by presence alone 


While I ride my horse
Alongside
The Chinese Wall


Sun is out shining
Tree is in blossom
Children playing
Up on the hill


While I ride my horse
Alongside
The Emperor's princess
On the Chinese Wall
