A Little Song
Rating: ★2.8
When you, my Dear, are away, away,
How wearily goes the creeping day.
A year drags after morning, and night

Moon, slip past the ladders of air
In a single flash, while your streaming hair
Catches the stars and pulls them down
To shine on some slumbering Chinese town.
Very good poem. tony
