On The Bank of Red River
by
Red Hanoi,
Source of joy.
Model for
Revolution
That for crisis
Seeks solution.
On the bank of Red River
And the shores of West Lake
To my love I pledged forever
In the struggle to endeavor
And my pledge I will not break.
The great secret of my success
Is a view scientific
Of a world in distress …
And devotion without end
To the cause of the masses
Headed by working classes
And a will that will not bend
Hanoi, November 1975
