Bynner, Witter. To one in China. In : Poetry ; vol. 25, no 4 (1925).
Following westward, where we heard you call,
The willing sun and I have come away,
Noon to its covert, I to burial
In the most golden darkness of Cathay.
Enclose me with your shadows, wrap me round
With the wonder of the midnight of your breath !
I yield my forehead to the living ground,
I am obeisant to the touch of death.
