Tonight my wife shall watch the full moon <br />Alone over the hills in Katipunan <br />I think sadly though of her <br />Too young to understand this sudden separation <br />Remembering once again our love in Cagayan <br />In fragrant mist, her black hair is damp <br />In the clear moonlight, her hands are cold <br />In the distant mountain of Tabon <br />I lean over this bamboo grove <br />While the moonlight tries to dry some tears<br /><br />RIC S.
