Clumped in the shadow of the beech,
In whose brown top the crows are loud,
Where, every side, great briers reach
And cling like hands, the beechdrops crowd

Leave me alone in the passion

Precedence takes of rosy fingered Spring;

A wild and giddy thing,

Between the old grey walls; I did not dare
To raise my face, I did not dare look up,

One little prayer, and then - what bitter fight

On Seeing A Pupil Of Kung-sun Dance The Chien-ch`i
On the nineteenth day of the tenth month of the second year of Ta-li (15 November 767), in the residence of
Yuan Ch`ih, Lieutenant-Governor of K`uei-chou, I saw Li Shih-er-niang of Lin-ying dance the chien-ch`i.

That followed if I let the kerchief fall:

Reaches with grappling coils from town to town;

Beneath some cool syringa's scented shade
Or wavy willow, by the running stream,

The Ballad Of The Northern Lights
One of the Down and Out-that's me. Stare at me well, ay, stare!
Stare and shrink-say! you wouldn't think that I was a millionaire.

Don't seem the sort of man, do I, as might be the pal of kings?
