Quatrain of Gufa Burdens - 1646

Quatrain of Gufa Burdens

Gufa - a boat built with reeds

Let us paddle out on the water
while clinging to the
reeds,

We'll take my gufa I have built,
load it with our
misdeeds.

We'll leave our wants behind,
take only what we
cherish,

We'll throw our burdens overboard,
watch them swim or
perish.
