A SPRING VIEW

Though a country be sundered, hills and rivers endure;And spring comes green again to trees and grasses,Where petals have been shed like tears,And lonely birds have sung their grief.

...After the war-fires of three months,One message from home is worth a ton of gold.

...I stroke my white hair. It has grown too thinTo hold the hairpins any more.
