Natural Alliance

Say, O melancholy moon,
Did someone steal
your sleep like mine too?
Why do you pace
across the sky
the whole night through?

O somber clouds,
Pray tell me this,
Did someone break
your heart like mine too?
Why do you shed tears
day and night through?

Say, O wailing wind,
Did you lose your
soulmate like mine too?
Why do you wander
pell-mell over the seas
and the land through?

O forlorn heart of mine,
No more do you grieve alone –
Forbear awhile,
Sojourn in the lap of nature
until love accompanies you
once again your life through.
