00288--THE MUSIC NIGHT


THE MUSIC NIGHT

Rain rhymed classic notes
Dancing fireflies under trees
Slowly rising fell-down stars
Are those hundred little lights

Sang by someone lovely song
Just as river gently moves
And as wind in paddy fields
Heard in the merry music night

Trembling lamps in huts are eyes
Of each goddess defending slumber
Wind with melody met those lights
Eyelids widened at once eyeing

Lie little ones in mothers' lap
Deep in sleep they smile a lot
Wind with melody met those babes
Sang and sighed of innocent infants

Fire framed coffin frees a soul
Sad notes played on moments' thought
Wind is back near widow faint
How to console, there feels its failure!
