��69. I AM A PEACH TREE
I am a peach tree blossoming in a deep pit Who is there I may turn to and smile? You are the moon up in the far sky; Passing, you looked down on me an hour; then went on forever.
��^ A sword with the keenest edge,*
��Could not cut the stream of water in twain So that it would cease to flow.
My thought is like the stream; and flows and follows you on forever.
��These two stanzas are taken from a poem written by Li Po in behalf of his wife, expressing her sentiment to- ward himself.
[104]
