Brightly shining sank the waning moon,

And the sun all beautiful arose;

Not a falcon floated through the air,

Strayed a youth along the river’s brim.

Slowly strayed he on and dreamingly,

Sighing looked unto the garden green,

Heart all filled with sorrow mused he so:

“All the little birds are now awake,

All, embracing with their little wings,

Greeting, all have sung their morning songs.
