Gathered, gathering, —

Lying ill on journey,
Ah, my dream
Run about the ruin of fields.

The green leaves, the young leaves.
In the light of the sun!

I grew to wish to raise
The chrysanthemum flowers.

Like a cobweb hung upon the tree,
A prey to wind and sunlight!
Who will say that we are safe and strong?

The maple leaves on the mountain top would
wait for a king's train to pass once more,
Why will my life wait for my own song?
