A Man Young and Old（五）

 V     The Empty Cup     A crazy man that found a cup，     When all but dead of thirst，     Hardly dared to wet his mouth     Imagining， moon-accursed，     That another mouthful     And his beating heart would burst.     October last I found it too     But found it dry as bone，     And for that reason am I crazed     And my sleep is gone.
