You clear wild stream

that once rippled so gaily

how silent you have become!
You do not bid me farewell

With a hard, stiff crust

you have covered yourself

and you lie cold and motionless
stretched out in the sand
. . . . . . .

My heart, do you now see

your own likeness in this stream

Is there a raging torrent
beneath its surface too?
