greatpoetryDeep, deep in the shade of the court,
the oriole flutters and sings.
Sun warms, the mist warm; spring breathes heavily again.
Green eyes, the willow leaves now turn toward whom?
Across the distance, fragrant grass spreads out,
brooding, vacant, restlessly movinig.
Wordless, she suffers, wounded that he'd go.
A shudder of love for him, and no way to show it.
She worries and worries, and finds her heart unchanged:
over and over when she sleeps
the butterfly's imprisoned in her dreams.
