Mirror in heart
If there’s in heart a small mirror,
What need there’s for a wall mirror?
Heart would reveal your veiled intent,
Let no dust befall on mirror.
One that conceals human conceit,
We never can call a mirror.
But who in heart and if at all
Would ever install a mirror?
Let man as a life tree on bank,
See his image crawl in water!
