The Poem On The Wall Poem by Bai Juyi

The Poem On The Wall

Rating: 2.7



My clumsy poem on the inn-wall none cared to see.
With bird-droppings and moss's growth the letters were blotched away.
There came a guest with heart so full, that though a page to the Throne,
He did not grudge with his broidered coat to wipe off the dust, and read.

As vignettes his words shine thru - despite the translation.
