Separation
As water runs in the river, so runs time; And ever my eyes are wasted of her presence. The red flowers of the second moon were yesterday; To-day the earth has spots of blood, and there are no flowers. The wild geese were harnessed to the autumn moon; They have come, I heard their crying, and they are gone. They have passed and given me no message; I only hear the falling, falling noise of white rain. Song of Korea.
