       that could have slaked the thirst of many flocks.
       
       Love is like sunshine on ungrateful land
       no blade of grass comes out to share the light
       but flowers turn their faces up like girls
       Who dream of the approaching shining knight.

       Rain breaks no rocks however much it pours.
       The colored clouds can make no mountains move.
       A wheel prefers to turn in its old groove.
       
       Love is like seed grains on a dusty land,
       A careless wind may blow them far away…

       there they may sprout, grow stalks, blossom, and stay.
