I was carrying my Grief on spring ice of my belief, when it broke, my girlish soul fell and couldn’t uprise. It went down like a cobble-stone while my heavy Grief alone caught hold on a notched brink of the gap in ice. And my Grief since that dim day has been seeking for my way, many Rumours do follow it with a falsehood’s wreath. And the fact that I didn’t die knew a willow, old and dry, and some quails who used to cry for their homelessness. Who of them had said to him - to my master, to my dream? They had blabbed me out, alas, all had been in vain! And this passion he couldn’t resist, so he came and gripped my wrist, and my Grief and Rumours tagged after him again. He came up with me, embraced, took me in his arms and paced, from behind his back my Grief grinned and smirked at me. But all time for him to stay was not more than half a day while my Grief remained for long, jostling awkwardly.
