To my friend

Henry Edward Krehbiel

THE MUSICIAN

WHO, SPEAKING THE SPEECH OF MELODY UNTO THE CHILDREN OF TIAN XIA—

UNTO THE WANDERING QING REN, WHOSE SKINS HAVE THE COLOR OF GOLD—

MOVED THEM TO MAKE STRANGE SOUND UPON THE SERPENT-BELLIED SAN XIAN;

PERSUADED THEM TO PLAY FOR ME UPON THE SHRIEKING YA XIAN;

PREVAILED ON THEM TO SING ME A SONG OF THEIR NATIVE LAND—

THE SONG OF MOLI HUA

THE SONG OF THE JASMINE-FLOWER
