I	A
In a Sampan	B
Min River Fo Kien	B
Up in the misty morning	C
Up past the gardened hills	D
With the rhythmic stroke of the rowers	D
While the blue deep pales and thrills	D
Past the rice fields green low lying	C
Where the sea gull's winging down	B
From the fleets of junks and sampans	D
And the ancient Chinese Town	B
II	A
In a Chair	E
Foo cbow	F
From the bright and blinding sunshine	B
From the whirling locust's song	G
Into the dark and narrow fissures	D
Of the streets I am borne along	G
Here and there dusky beaming	C
A sun shaft broadens and drops	D
On the brown bare crowd slow passing	C
The crowd of the open shops	D
We move on over the bridges	D
With their straight hewn blocks of stone	B
And their quaint grey animal figures	D
And the booths the hucksters own	B
Behind a linen awning	C
Sits an ancient wight half dead	H
And a little dear of a girl is	D
Examining his head	H
On a bended bamboo shouldered	I
Bearing a block of stone	B
Two worn out Coolies half naked	J
Utter their grunting groan	B
Children almond eyed beauties	D
Impossibly mangy curs	D
Take part in the motley stream of	K
Insouciant passengers	D
This is the Dream the Vision	B
That comes to me and greets	D
The Vision of Retribution	B
In the labyrinthine streets	D
III	A
'Caste'	J
These Chinese toil and yet they do not starve	L
And they obey and yet they are not slaves	D
It is the 'free born' fuddled Englishmen	B
Who grovel rotting in their living graves	D
These Chinese do not fawn with servile lips	D
They lift up equal eyes that ask and scan	B
Their degradation has escaped at least	J
That choicest curse of all the Gentleman	B
IV	L
Over the Samovar	E
Foo chow	M
'Yes I used always to think	N
That you Russians knew	B
How to make the good drink	N
As none others do	B
'And I thought moreover	E
Not with the epicures	D
You might search the world over	E
For such Women as yours	D
'In both these matters now	M
I perceive I was right	J
And I really can't tell you how	M
Much I delight	J
'In my third Thanks another cup	O
Idea of the fun	B
When your Country gets up	O
And follows the sun	B
'And just as in Europe see	D
There's a Conqueror Nation	B
So why not in Asia be	D
A like jubilation	B
'Taught as well as organized	J
The eternal Coolie	P
From being robbed and despised	J
Takes to cutting throats duly	P
'But please don't be flurried	J
For I daresay by then	B
You'll be comfortably buried	J
Ladies and gentlemen	B
'No more thanks I must be going	C
I'm so glad to have made this	D
Opportunity of knowing	C
Some more Russian ladies '	Q
