BY THE MOONLIGHT, IN THE DISTANCE
By the moonlight, in the distance,
A sailboat on the river
Sails peacefully by.
What does it reveal?
I don’t know, but my being
Feels suddenly strange,
And I dream without seeing
The dreams that I have.
What anguish engulfs me?
What love can’t I explain?
It’s the sailboat that passes
In the night that remains.
