Poems "First Love" and "Crossing"
Description
This page shows two poems written by Chinese student Poon Kant Mok of the 1927 graduating class, "First Love" and "Crossing." The first poem, "First Love," is a brief romantic piece. The second poem, "Crossing," discusses homesickness, a long-distance relationship, and traveling overseas. The narrator begins the poem by "the sea of bitterness," and is traveling to the "yonder shore" that his love is on.
