Todays poem:

By Heaven
- a Folk song from the Han Dynasty

By Heaven!
I long to ever precipitate your affections,
And hope this long affection will be without end.
Until mountains shatter and flatten,
Until torrential riverbeds run dry,
Until in the harsh winter thunders roll and -
Until snow showers in the scorching heat,
Until the earth breaks and joins with the sky,
Not till then will I part from you..
