Stray Birds

New York: The Macmillan Company, 1916

To T. HARA of Yokohama

"The language of eternal question."

"What language is thy answer, O sky?

"The language of eternal silence."

"I am a mere flower."

"To salute the sun for whom I must make way."

"I am hidden in your heart, O Flower."

"I leave my answers in tears upon the grass."

"In the dreams of the impotent," comes the answer.

"I shall do what I can, my Master," said the earthen lamp.

The stars made no answer.

"The Myself striding on my back."

"Let me keep your footprints in my heart."

The jasmine sighed, "Alas," and dropped to the ground.
