A night bird narrates…
A man sat amidst the grass.
With a hint of melancholy, carrying the weight of his past, a hidden tale within.
A melody echoed through the air,
Urging the man to rise from his place.
He followed the song with his enchanted heart.
Which sweet voice could sing in such a mournful tone?
Which innocent girl sits by the waterfall?
He pursued the song, with his spellbound heart,
When shadows grow longer.
Seated by the waterfall was the source of this melodic tone,
On a moss-covered stone.
A young girl, weeping.
What causes this eerie demeanor?
What has befallen you?
Which song were you singing, a tune my ears couldn’t believe, so filled with sorrow?
