Sapphire
Oh, wearing sapphire,
Who goes there walking in heavy rain?
Kadamba and screw-pine are blooming in the garden.
Come on in a hefty watery rainy day,
What is the melody ringing in my heart!
Would I be able to recognize them?
Thick cloud is kissing the blue sky,
Looking at them with flashing eye-
Gardenia is swaying in the south wind below.
Where are you going placing morning glory on the chignon?
I just sat there with mirthless heart-
The tide rises again in the ever-flowing river.
