The lamp has burned low and I am exhausted by longing. I open the curtain to watch the moon, but my sighs are all in vain. She who is lovely as all the flowers remains beyond the distant clouds. The heavens are deep blue and endless; below, the waves are pale. the sky has no end, like my journey. We suffer as we go. Even dreams cannot cross over the vast mountains that divide us. And this eternal longing can turn a heart to dust. -(701-762)
