| Translation of previous torch |
Mystic vision
Among the ferns they all wander, on and on,
All through the night under the sky, moonish gray,
little and delicate,
They come to rest on their leaves, time after time
So tired from so much buzzing and so much dancing
And so much mutual hurt from this fern to that
But this soul however breaks free
Like those souls that come off the fern |
