The courier will depart next day, she's told.

She sews a warrior's gown all night.

Her fingers feel the needle cold.

How can she hold the scissors tight?

The work is done, she sends it far away.

When will it reach the town where warriors stay?

Bynner 42

La chanson des quatre saisons, hiver

Un courrier part demain de grand matin pour la frontiere ;

La nuit se passe a doubler chaudement des habits.

De jolis doigts ont pris bravement l'aiguille glacee ;

Mais ces ciseaux plus froids encore, que de courage pour les saisir !

Enfin tout est taille, tout est cousu ; l'ouvrage est confie au courrier qui s'eloigne.

Combien de jours lui faudra-t-il pour arriver a Lin-tao 1 ?

1 . Ville frontiere du pays des Tou-fan, contre lesquels les Chinois eurent souvent a hitter.
