A WORLD APART, by                    
First Line: The lady moon is my lover
Last Line: In the dust of the whirl of men.
Alternate Author Name(s): Chang Kuei-ling


The Lady Moon is my lover,
My friends are the oceans four,
The heavens have roofed me over,
And the dawn is my golden door
I would liefer follow the condor
Or the seagull, soaring from ken,
Than bury my godhead yonder
In the dust of the whirl of men.
