    A wife m ou rn s
    for her hu sb an d
    The dolichos grows and covers the thorn,
    O'er the waste is the dragon-plant
    creeping.
    The man of my heart is away and I
    mourn--
    What home have I, lonely and
    weeping?
    Covering the jujubes the dolichos grows,
    The graves many dragon-plants cover;
    But where is the man on whose breast I'd
    repose?
    No home have I, having no lover!

    Fair to see was the pillow of horn,


    And fair the bed-chamber's adorning;
    But the man of my heart is not here, and
    I mourn
    All alone, and wait for the morning.
    While the long days of summer pass
    over my head,
    And long winter nights leave their
    traces,
    I'm alone! Till a hundred of years shall
    have fled,
    And then I shall meet his embraces.
    Through the long winter nights I am
    burdened with fears,
    Through the long summer days I am
    lonely;
    But when time shall have counted its
    hundreds of years
    I then shall be his--and his only!
