Translation of Charles Rockwell Lanman, editor
F
The wheel of birth and death, aye whirling, moves
Round the long paths from primal naught to Brahm’s abode.
We joy to give those loves the name of “brother,”
Of “friend,” perhaps, of “father,” or of “mother.”
Alas! they’re chance acquaintance met upon the road.
