Quite a chance that day the journey was granting <br />On our long way, the afternoon sun slanting. <br />Over the wind your singing voice took dominion <br />To lull human life’s vicissitudes to oblivion. <br /> <br />What scenery! with smoke your eyes dimming, <br />The vast country over with tune was brimming. <br />Suddenly I reminisced about our motherland <br />So far that albatrosses hardly reach its strand. <br /> <br />Your hair was bob-waving against the stream; <br />Your lips ambitiously showed such a beam. <br />All at once I felt as though I had become of yore <br />In contrast with your prime of life in the core... <br /> <br /> * <br />Then comes this journey you’re out of my sight <br />And my way seems endless in the starlight. <br />How I miss you along each mile of wishing hot <br />Wondering if you still remember or simply forgot.<br /><br />Nhuan LeXuan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/evening-melody-2/
