chinese wedding <br />two red candles burn <br />through the night <br /> <br />inspired by <br /> <br />The Wedding <br /> <br />O marriage-bells, your clamor tells <br />Two weddings in one breath. <br />SHE marries whom her love compels: <br />- And I wed Goodman Death! <br />My brain is blank, my tears are red; <br />Listen, O God: - 'I will, ' he said: - <br />And I would that I were dead. <br />Come groomsman Grief and bridesmaid Pain <br />Come and stand with a ghastly twain. <br />My Bridegroom Death is come o'er the meres <br />To wed a bride with bloody tears. <br />Ring, ring, O bells, full merrily: <br />Life-bells to her, death-bells to me: <br />O Death, I am true wife to thee! <br /> <br />Sidney Lanier<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/haiku-the-wedding/
