The Temple Of Fragrance Poem by Ho Xuan Huong

The Temple Of Fragrance

Rating: 5.0


Who could have fashioned this marvel?
The mountain cracks into a wide, hollow cave.
Pious Buddhists struggle to set foot inside,
others gaze at it tirelessly.
Drippings form a sweet streamlet,
as sailors on incoming junks bend their heads.
City folk also flock to these springs and woods.
Clever, indeed, the Old Man in Heaven!

Wonderful poem. I mostly see double meaning in her poems.
