BeheSong of the Immortal IslesPehe

From where had that companion in rainbow robes flown,

Her moonlike face a little waned,

Her snow-white dimples faintly clouded,

Who knew how deep her hidden feelings ran?

Softly she breathed words of tender counsel,

Half were words that stole the soul.

Whale-tossed waves for ten thousand miles stirred the traveler's robes,

To the left, he drew the bright moon close,

To the right, he led the long wind on,

And conquered a thousand acres of rosy cloud.

Half an acre he opened into a pond,

Which mirrored my beard and brows.
