Mao Tse-tung - poems - MY THOUGHTS PRESENTED TO CHAIRMAN MAO


MY THOUGHTS PRESENTED TO CHAIRMAN MAO

--a lu sbih
You excel as the maker of a new epoch! 
Hard it was for me to laud Light in dark times. 
Lecturing on classics, I am no time-serving scholar 
And, to my sorrow, have met with no warm reception. 
Remorse fills me at the thought of my misspent life, 
Yet my heart will remain true to the end. 
O for glad tidings from the southern expedition! 
Lake Fenhu will then be my hermit resort.
