A Flute Of Marvel

Title:     A Flute Of Marvel
Author: Edward Powys Mathers [More Titles by Mathers]

Under the leaves and cool flowers
The wind brought me the sound of a flute
From far away.

I cut a branch of willow
And answered with a lazy song.

Even at night, when all slept,
The birds were listening to a conversation
In their own language.

From the Chinese of Li Po (705-763).

[The end]
Edward Powys Mathers's poem: Flute Of Marvel
