Winter Sky

Lying on the ground,

The stars smile down

while the lark cries

And I hear nothing more,

I see the entire, I see it all

I feel all the more

And I find it abysmal

The soft downy meadow

Provides me with a comfort hitherto unknown

And from beneath the willow, the moon casts a shadow.

And I hear nothing more,

I see the entire, I see it all

I feel all the more

And I find it abysmal

The crickets sing with the evening breeze

And the fireflies do their evening dance

I lay at ease,

And realize myself to be just a chance

And I hear nothing more,

I see the entire, I see it all

I feel all the more

And I find it abysmal

The twilit sky and its infinite reach

Like a fabric of breathtaking beauty, studded with jewels

Seems to reach out breach

The barriers of my mind and soul

And I hear nothing more,

I see the entire, I see it all

I feel all the more

And I find it abysmal
