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
