English Department’s Owl

    The Owl at English Department 

                                               by Nathaniel Chang  (2007)

 Of this river side campus in which we stay,

        Always a constant owl idly flies and sits

       Beholding me that all the roles play,

       Disguising diversly my eyes do not see.

   Sometimes I joy when glad encounter fits,

      And mask in happy like a supreme Comedy

      But at times the owl sees me as a nihil

      I weep and make my pains a Tragedy,

  Yet the owl beholding me with the constant eye,

     Let the heartless rain falling on my head

     But when it cries I soothe, and when it laugh

     I wish it is the true laugh from its deep heart

  What then can move the owl? if I could find the way

     One day I may say, cute thy owl let’s call it a day.
