��38. AN ENCOUNTER IN THE FIELD

Came an amorous rider,

Trampling the fallen flowers of the road.

The dangling end of his crop

Brushes a passing carriage of five-colored clouds.

The jeweled curtain is raised,

A beautiful woman smiles within —

"That is my house," she whispers,

Pointing to a pink house beyond.
