REMEMBERING MY BROTHERS
ON A MOONLIGHT NIGHT
A wanderer hears drums portending battle.By the first call of autumn from a wildgoose at the border,He knows that the dews tonight will be frost.. . . How much brighter the moonlight is at home!O my brothers, lost and scattered,What is life to me without you?Yet if missives in time of peace go wrong—What can I hope for during war?
