I felt boredof staring at the sky
I involved my heart in the inkest high
I imerced my eyes in the cloudy lake
Suddenly encountered a view that made me evoke
A flower was smiling with all cheer
And there stood a belle calmly near,

Astounded by both the flowers
I spent countless hours-gazing
At the beauty of two marvellous parasols
They crowned peace in my soul
Comparing the unadorable deities-I
Thought of professing my love to her

But felt a pang by some unseen impetus
I remained silent and adored the posers
Stood all behind my window pane
Thought of only admiring the beauties
Cannot harm them while some roughness can.
I remained there as a placid observer...
