Show BLOOM8 AND FAIRY LAMPS I (Threo poems from tho Chlnest of I Yuan Mel. A. D., 1715-1797.) I A Medley of Perfume Prone beside the Western Btrcam, wfc" In the llllcd dusk I dream; ' J And, mocking me, the wind of spring I Such medley of perfume doth bring B I cannot tell what fragrance blows, B Nor guess tho lotus from tho rose. B A Feast of Lanterns B In Spring, for sheer delight, H I Eot tho lanterns swinging through, H tho trees, H Bright as tho myriad argosies of night H That rldo tho clouded billows of the H Bky. H lied dragons leap and plunge ln gold H and sliver seas. H And, Oh! my garden, gleaming cold. B and white, B Thou hltst outshono tho far faint B moon on high. H Willow Flowers B O willow flowers, llko flakes of snow, H Where do your wnnderlng legions got B Little wo core, and less we know! H Our ways aro In the ways of the fl wind; B Our life ln the whirl, nnd death In B tho drifts below. B From tho London Nation I |
