江南曲 李益

江南曲   李益 (748-827)
嫁得瞿塘賈,朝朝誤妾期。
早知潮有信,嫁與弄潮兒。
 
A Song of the River South      Li Yi (748-827)
Since tying her knots with a Qu Tang trading mogul,
He never keeps his promised homecoming schedule,
She should have known even tides have a fixed timetable,
Why hasn’t she married a man who works according to the tidal spells.
