What are you—banded one?"

The sunrise and sunset watched with

Tenderness, clothing her with silhouettes"

When light is put away
As when the Neighbor holds the Lamp
To witness her Goodbye"

A lonely cloud floats leisurely by.
We never tire of looking at each other -
Only the mountain and I."

Every morning a new arrival."
