YELLOW CRANE TOWER

YELLOW CRANE TOWER… Talk does not run out … Mao Tse Tung

--to the tune of Pu Sa Man
Spring 1927


Wide, wide flow the nine streams through the land,

Dark, dark threads the line from south to north.

Blurred in the thick haze of the misty rain

Tortoise and Snake hold the great river locked.

The yellow crane is gone, who knows whither?

Only this tower remains a haunt for visitors.

I pledge my wine to the surging torrent,

The tide of my heart swells with the waves.
