RETURN OF SPRING, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A lovely maiden, roaming
Last Line: That was old and is young again.
Alternate Author Name(s): Piao-sheng
Subject(s): Spring


A lovely maiden, roaming
The wild dark valley through,
Culls from the shining waters
Lilies and lotus blue.
With leaves the peach-trees are laden,
The wind sighs through the haze,
And the willows wave their shadows
Down the oriole-haunted ways.
As, passion-tranced, I follow,
I hear the old refrain
Of Spring's eternal story,
That was old and is young again.
