And in the view of splashing light
Without fright and fury hide
For only wish to learn I might
Seek for a compromise, and find
Desired and placid good compact
Upon conditions never hard
With shining mightily god’s act
Dance up and pierce the shadows bound
To stay forever on the Earth
Which trail the blackened field that pounds
Half of the land and casts the curse
You, fireflies, ongoing to me pins!
The rocking glistening in waters green.
You’re before me and in eyes
You never dare not leave nor telling lies!
The o’ercast sky blotting out.
You, the supporters on the foul
And tempting marshes sucking scouts
Of hesitating mind. It’s evergreen
But withering small leaves
Are brought about to help by any means.
Among the breakers I am crushed
To make a noise that goes onward
And stirs the stars, and makes ‘em fly
And fall and perish in my eyes!
Some part of dream completed.
I feel I am not defeated
Along the snow-capped hills set out again
And all in all this is doomed game.
