11. Tang Poems 望夫石 D 化为石，不回头。 Where she awaits her husband 山头日日风复雨，
——王建
　望夫处，江悠悠。
化为石，不回头。
　山头日日风复雨，
行人归来石应语。 D
Where she awaits her husband
On and on the river flows.
Never looking back,
Transformed into stone.
Day by day upon the mountain top,
wind and rain revolve.
Should the journeyer return,
this stone would utter speech.
