NUMBER:7991
AUTHOR:Andrew Lang (1844–1912)
QUOTATION:Here’s a pot with a cot in a park
  In a park where the peach-blossoms blew,
Where the lovers eloped in the dark,
  Lived, died and were changed into two
  Bright birds that eternally flew
Through the boughs of the may, as they sang;
  ’T is a tale was undoubtedly true
  In the reign of the Emperor Hwang.
ATTRIBUTION:Ballade of blue China.
BIOGRAPHY:Columbia Encyclopedia.
