“Kurai” (gloomy)

"In the still of darkness I sing a silent song of sadness. In utter loneliness I mourn the loss of my earthly life and I ask the trees and the sky what has happened to me. But their answers are soundless. How can my song of lament end when I do not know the last notes? Standing at deaths door I am not ready to enter.

A soft and lonesome cry is heard when evening turns to night. In the garden I see her standing still, staring out over the fields as if she is searching for someone."
