Portrait of Ezra Pound Ezra Pound Lustra — A Ballad of the Mulberry Road (1916)

The sun rises in south east corner of things
To look on the tall house of the Shin
For they have a daughter named Rafu,
⁠ (pretty girl)
She made the name for herself: "Gauze Veil,"
For she feeds mulberries to silkworms,
⁠She gets them by the south wall of the town.
With green strings she makes the warp of her basket,
She makes the shoulder-straps of her basket
⁠from the boughs of Katsura,
And she piles her hair up on the left side of her head-piece.
