I remember fleeing the rebelsA
through dangerous northern canyonsB
-
the midnight moon shining brightC
on narrow P eng ya RoadD
-
So poor we went on footE
we were embarrassed meeting strangersF
-
A few birds sang in the valleysG
but we met no one returningH
-
My daughter was so starved she bit meI
she screamed her painful hungerJ
-
I damped her mouth shut tightC
fearful of wolves and tigersF
-
She struggled hard against meI
she cried and criedK
-
My son was sympatheticL
and searched the wilds for foodM
-
Then five days of heavy rain arrivedN
and we trudged through freezing mudO
-
We had no coats no shelterJ
we were dressed in cold wet clothesP
-
Struggling struggling we madeQ
but a mile or two each dayR
-
We ate wild fruits and berriesG
and branches made our roofS
-
Mornings we slogged through waterJ
evenings we searched for skyline smokeT
-
We stopped at a marshU
to prepare our climb to the passV
-
and met a Mr SunW
whose standards are high as cloudsX
-
We came through the darkY
and lamps were lit gates opening before usZ
-
Servants brought warm waterJ
so we could bathe our aching feetA2
-
They hung paper bannersF
in our honorJ
-
Mrs Sun came out with all her childrenW
They wept for our conditionW
-
My children slept exhaustedO
until we roused them with foodM
-
Our host took a vowB2
he d always remain my brotherJ
-
His home was made our homeC2
to provide for every comfortD2
-
Who could imagine in such troubled timesE2
he d bare his heart and soulF2
-
A year has passed since that fated nightC
The Barbarians still wage warG2
-
If I had the wings of the wild gooseH2
I d fly to be at his sideK
