“THE SHADOW OF A LEAF OF ROSES”


Alone in her room, A girl embroideres silk flowers.

When, suddenly, she hears the sound of a distant flute … 

She shudders. 

She imagines a young man talking to her about love.

Through the paper from the window, 

The shadow of a leaf of rose bushes rests on her lap … 

She closes her eyes and dreams that a hand tears her dress.

” Unknown bird “

       

One evening, I breathed the fragrance of the flowers along the river.

The wind brought me the song of a distant flute.

To answer him, I cut a branch of willow,
And the song of my flute rocked the night charmed.

Since that evening, every day,
At a time when the campaign is falling asleep, 

The birds hear responding to their song that of an unknown bird, Of which , however, they understand the language.
