The clouds are gray
Above the trees
As we linger at the clearing;
Again, the moon brightens
Lights up the road
That leads beyond the woods.
Somewhere in the darkness
My beloved sleeps
In the depths of the sleeping night;
Somewhere my replacement
Despairs of nights
Of the torment of this loneliness.
