You student, with the collar blue, <br />Long pines my heart with anxious pain. <br />Although I do not go to you, <br />Why from all word do you refrain? <br /> <br />O you, with girdle strings of blue, <br />My thoughts to you forever roam! <br />Although I do not go to you, <br />Yet why to me should you not come? <br /> <br />How reckless you, how light and wild, <br />There by the tower upon the wall! <br />One day, from sight of you exiled, <br />As long as three long months I call.<br /><br />Confucius<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-lady-mourns-the-absence-of-her-student-lover/
