THE CAMEL-BACK BRIDGE
Isaac Taylor Headland translation
IF you chance to be crossing
The camel-back bridge,
Each step leads you up
Till you come to the ridge.
The lantern-grass floats
On the pond like a sail,
The silver-fish bites
At the gold-fish's tail.
The big-bellied frog
Sitting there on the rock,
Keeps constantly calling
Wa'rh wa, wa'rh wa.
