Grandfather
He can not see her off
For he is elder
It is not right.
Sixty years odd together in bind
And he can not see her leave.
All he can do is sit and fold
Little taels of papaer gold
To bribe those damned demons
                            Let her pass
Trouble her not
               Let her free
                           The gold is yours.
               And he sits, day and night
Folding by the bags of black.
