Song of the Love Nights of Laos.
Seeing that I adore you,
Scarf of golden flowers,
Why do you stay unmarried?
As the liana at a tree’s foot
That quivers to wind it round,
So do I wait for you. I pray you
Do not detest me….
I have come to say farewell.
Farewell, scarf;
Garden Royal
Where none may enter,
Gaudy money
I may not spend.
(Edward Powys Mathers)
