Young man, don't you blame me
'twas the wind that lifted my skirt*
I know not what you saw
I wasn't out to flirt--
My dad is a Minister of the Imperial Court
to the Crown Prince I'm betrothed
your thousand love-poems I'll
not read
doubtless I'd be eternally loathed.
'twas the wind that lifted my skirt*
I know not what you saw
I wasn't out to flirt--
My dad is a Minister of the Imperial Court
to the Crown Prince I'm betrothed
your thousand love-poems I'll
not read
doubtless I'd be eternally loathed.
* skirt being blown by the wind is an idea from ancient Chinese poetry but the story and poem are totally mine.
