       To my mother

      As the mist leaves no scar

      On the dark green hill, So my body leaves no scar On you, nor ever will.When wind and hawl encounter, What remains to keep? So you and I encounter Then turn, then fall to sleep.As many nights endure Without a moon or star. So will we endure When one is gone and far.
