Invocation

Margaret DeLaughter

KWAN-YIN, mother of mercies,

Kwan-yin, goddess of prayer,

Hear my voice at thine altar,

Heed my foot on the stair!

Lo, the rice-bowl is empty;

Toa-tai smiles no more.

Sorrow lurks at our roof-tree,

Ruin waits at the door.

Kwan-yin, mother of mercies,

Kwan-yin, goddess of prayer,

Hear my voice at thine altar,

Heed my foot on the stair!
