Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHIJ KLMN ODINKPQK AERI SETIU V

Ever at the far side of the currentA
The fishes hurl and swimB
For pelicans and great birdsC
Watch and go fishingD
On the bank sideE
-
No man dare go aloneF
In the dim great forestG
But if I were as strongH
As the green tigerI
I would goJ
-
The holy swan on the seaK
Wishes to pass over with his wingsL
But I think it would be hardM
To go so farN
-
If you are still pureO
Tell me darlingD
If you are no longerI
Clear like an evening starN
You are the heart of a great treeK
Eaten by insectsP
Why do you lower your eyesQ
Why do you not look at meK
-
When the blue elephantA
Finds a lotus by the water sideE
He takes it up and eats itR
Lemons are not sweeter than sugarI
-
If I had the moon at homeS
I would open my house wideE
To the four winds of the horizonT
So that the clouds that surround herI
Should escape and be shaken awayU
-
Song of the Love Nights of LaosV
