Seifu Ginkyoku (The Lady of the Warriors' Song)

Japanese: 征婦吟曲 - せいふぎんきょく

A long poem in Chinese written at the end of the Le Dynasty in Vietnam and its translation into the Vietnamese language. The poem was written by Dang Tran Con (鄧陳琨), who was the magistrate of Thanh Oai (Qingwei) County in Ha Dong (He Dong) during the Yungyou (1735-40) and Jingxing (1740-86) eras. It is a long poem with rich intonation and variety, consisting of 476 lines modeled on the long and short lines of the Yuefu (musical music) style performed during the Tang Dynasty. It is a monologue by a young woman who has sent her husband off to battle, complaining of her loneliness at the separation and expressing her heart-wrenching feelings of longing for her husband's return.
