A Woodcutter's LoveThe tallest Southern treeAffords no shade for me.The maiden on the streamCan but be found in dream.For me the stream's too wideTo reach the other sideAs River Han's too longTo cross its current strong.Of the trees in the woodI'll only cut the good.If she should marry me,Her stable-man I'd be. For me the stream's too wideTo reach the other sideAs River Han's too longTo cross its current strong.Of the trees here and thereI'll only cut the fairIf she should marry me,Her stable-boy I'd be. For me the stream's too wideTo reach the other sideAs River Han's too longTo cross its current strong.*The legend said that there was a Goddes on the River Han,Here the woodcutter compared the maiden he love to a inaccessible Goddess.
