1<br><br>STRAY birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.<br><br>And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh.<br><br>2<br><br>O TROUPE of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words.<br><br>3<br><br>THE world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.<br><br>It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.<br><br>4<br><br>IT is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.<br><br>5<br><br>THE mighty desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away.<br><br>6<br><br>IF you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.<br><br>7<br><br>HE sands in your way beg for your song and your movement, dancing water. Will you carry the burden of their lameness?<br><br>8<br><br>HER wistful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night.<br><br>9<br><br>ONCE we dreamt that we were strangers.<br><br>We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.
