Poem by Elinor Wylie

The Pekingese

    For a picture

This Pekingese, that makes the sand-grains spin,
Is digging little tunnels to Pekin:
Dream him emerging in a porcelain cave
Where wounded dragons stain a pearly wave. 

1. In Our Content, before the Autumn Came
2. Upon Your Heart, Which Is.the Heart of All
3. Absent Thee from Felicity Awhile
4. One Person
5. The Broken Man
