Smoking words in the sleeping forest, unbeknownst to anyone The voice of a ghost playing on the water, protected by the grove It rose up in the midst of a dream, then disappeared A tender passion that resembled sorrow Ah, longing for true love, praying to the clear, blue moon Where does today go when it disappears? O flock of winter birds on your journey Rest your broken wings Ah, an unchanging pledge of love, embraced by the earth in eternal sleep The forest dweller who killed himself The presence of gods in the silent garden, unbeknownst to anyone
