The Teaching of Li Wang Ho
“Sometimes I hope that all thy beauty,
Engraved upon my heart,
May yet reflect upon that surface, smooth.
And on my brest I carry
That silver-covered glass;
That once again with tears I’ll see Thee in thy counterpart
Within the Mirror. And perchance thou’lt tarry
Just a little while and stay to sooth
My lonely heart. Alas —
MY LOVE— I MISS THEE SO!”
The Teaching of Li Wang Ho - J. Michaud
