Cutting Wood
by Frank Watson
How to cut wood?
It’s hard without an axe.
How to find a wife?
It’s hard without a go-between.
 
Cutting wood… cutting wood…
The rule’s pretty clear:
To find a girl
You need a lot of gifts.
 
 
Translated from an anonymous poem in the Shijing, a classic Chinese poetry anthology written around the 7th-11th centuries BC.
