LYRICAL INTERLUDE: 10, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The lotos flower is troubled
Last Line: With love and the sorrows of love.
Subject(s): Faces; Flowers; Love; Moon


THE lotos flower is troubled
At the sun's resplendent light
With sunken head and sadly
She dreamily waits for the night

The moon appears as her wooer,
She wakes at his fond embrace;
For him she kindly uncovers
Her sweetly flowering face.

She blooms and glows and glistens.
And mutely gazes above;
She weeps and exhales and trembles
With love and the sorrows of love.
