A VASE OF CHINESE IVORY

by: David O'Neil

      N the museum
      It had no name:
      It was only the life work
      Of one almond-eyed heathen--
      Just one of a million!
      Look closer
      And you will see
      A soul,
      Unique and beautiful.

"A Vase of Chinese Ivory" is reprinted from Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1916. Ed. William Stanley Braithwaite. New York: Laurence J. Gomme, 1916.
