A butterfly hanging on the wall
With its wings clasped together
Hiding its beauty from all
With its feet arranged together

Finding itself with no mood
Dreaming for the open sky
Where it can be free to fly
Along with the nightingale
But everything is off to no avail
Because the soul neglects its […]

We are indeed young, and untender,
Almost, at times, foolish,
Often, we don’t want to admit it,
For they […]

Let us go then, you and I, to a place,
Where the green pasture spreads out against the sky,
Let us go then, you in gallop, to make haste,
Untill we reach a stream that lies beyond the wild rye,
