English poem
The Son of Heaven
by Eunice Tietjens (1884–1944)
Like this frail and melancholy rain is the memory of the Emperor Kuang-Hsü, and of his sufferings at the hand of Yehonala. Yet under heaven was there found no one to avenge him. Now he has mounted the Dragon and has visited the Nine Springs. His betrayer sits upon the Dragon Throne.
Yet among the shades may he not take comfort from the presence of his Pearl Concubine?
