Disquiet

Topics: classic

Brother, my thought of you     In this letter on a palm-leaf     Goes up about you     As her own scent     Goes up about the rose.     The bracelets on my arms     Have grown too large     Because you went away.     I think the sun of love     Melted the snow of parting,     For the white river of tears has overflowed.     But though I am sad     I am still beautiful,     The girl that you desired     In April.     Brother, my love for you     In this letter on a palm-leaf     Brightens about you     As her own rays     Brighten about the moon.     Love Poem of Cambodia.
