At sixteen I am a nun. . .
:34:13
my hair shorn at youths prime.
:34:17
Yet I am by nature a girl,
not a boy.
:34:20
Why must I wear
these sexless robes?
:34:24
I see the joyful couples pass. . .
:34:26
in their splendid brocades.
:34:33
Despite myself,
desire burns in my heart. . .
:35:02
Year after year
All over the land
:35:08
I've followed my king
on his military campaigns
:35:14
enduring the wind
And frost and hard toil. .
:35:21
Our people are fallen
into abyss of misery. .
:35:41
This little boy. . .
:35:44
Master Guan. . .
:35:47
Mr. Zhang, may you live
as long as South Mountain.
:35:58
The king is here.
