Ni Yulan
You, as a woman, Ni Yulan
won the international award
for courage yet a prisoner
in the Beijing jail
still disabled,
May you be set free
though man may fail you
in your still hours
from troubles for civil rights
your fight for liberty is ours
as you will sit with wonder
under a Yulan Magnolia tree
with a bouquet of flowers.
