Ruby lake of the land's flake

What flowers will never see

Ruby waters of beauty fill the lake

Although, swans would rather flee


Once a home for the great snake

Beheaded with a machete

Beauty, it dared to take

—Her protected cherry tree


Birds of a feather will see

What waters can never be

For its beauty is at stake

Life—it would dare to take.
