Lunar baby

Glooming shadows

cover you softly where you rest

on the mossy ground



Bathing in dew you dwell

Do not fear, the sparrows

will guard your nest



Until October storms arise

In autumnal equinox,

maple leaves are falling

and caress your body



In the deepest forest you lie,

pale and alone

Leaves conceal your skin,

even your bright eyes are hidden



Sparrows cannot see you now

You do not manage on your own,

and soon the frost will

penetrate your tender body



Snow is falling in winter

Flakes of crystal snow

land on your sweet brow

A star has fallen
