But wind
Running through
The green bamboo?
Following after
Can you lind
Where his footsteps bent the
grasses?
What is laughter
But wind that lightly passedp
What is grief
But flower
OF the dark,
For an hour,
o how brief,
Opening petals to the sky?
What is grief
But flower that will die2
What is love
But Il brief,

Wind above

And soon after
Those wan petals opening deep.
That is life
