Title:     Stranger Things Have Happened
Author: Edward Powys Mathers [More Titles by Mathers]

Do not believe that ink is always black,
Or lime white, or lemon sour;
You cannot ring one bell from two pagodas,
You cannot have two governors for the city of Lang Son.
I found you binding an orange spray
Of flowers with white flowers;
I never noticed the flower gathering
Of other village ladies.
Would you like me to go and see your father and mother?

Song of Annam.

[The end]
Edward Powys Mathers's poem: Stranger Things Have Happened
