Khap-Salung
Seeing that I adore you, Scarf of golden flowers, Why do you stay unmarried? As the liana at a tree's foot That quivers to wind it round, So do I wait for you. I pray you Do not detest me.... I have come to say farewell. Farewell, scarf; Garden Royal Where none may enter, Gaudy money I may not spend. Song of the Love Nights of Laos.
