Town Children
Nature waits with pristine beauty
to paint landscape pictures dainty,
but canvas remains blank hidden
like white faces of town children.
Winter comes on wings of north wind,
dazzle of snow makes vision blind.
The meadows once green pale frozen
like white faces of town children.
Enticing autumn winds blow high
within the limits of blue sky,
detached clumps of cloud are driven
like white faces of town children.
In the garden behind the fence
remote spring enters in silence.
Wan jasmine petals still glisten
like white faces of town children.
