Asian koel sings a striking melody-- lovely lilt lingering beneath the sprawling mango tree. The song drifts down to folks below, coo-coo-cooing, calming, as sunset provides a vibrant glow. |
Both West Point cadet and crafty old vet commit to meet ev'ry threat without any fret. No quit! We are in their debt and shall not forget their grit. Notes on the Lai form of poetry ▼ |
