Si Dixiang: A Spring Outing
春日游，
杏花吹满头。
陌上谁家年少，
足风流。
Out for a spring outing, with apricot petals blown all over my head. Who is that lad upon the path — so full of grace?
妾拟将身嫁与，
一生休。
纵被无情弃，
不能羞。
I would marry him and be content for life. Even if he should heartlessly cast me off, I would not be ashamed.
