In the frosty air at autumn's end, | In the frosty air at autumn's end, | ||
Why | Why do the lilies not blossom? | ||
Around | Around nectarless flowers, | ||
Why | Why do the bees not congregate? | ||
In forests, lilies might not blossom; | |||
But in the mind, the lotus blooms. | |||
Around the flowers, bees might not congregate; | |||
But in the mind, bees assemble. | |||
In the melancholic melody of autumn, | In the melancholic melody of autumn, | ||
The forest is filled with the song of sadness. | The forest is filled with the song of sadness. |
