She followed him out of the forest,

 and collapsed upon the earth.

Her feet had walked but a distance, 

from the green land of her birth,

 She faded into a flower, 

that would bloom for one bright eve.

He could not take from the forest, 

what was never meant to leave.

— Erutan, The Willow Maid
