Burning Love of a Thousand Nights

Love aflame for a thousand nights, a farewell without a vow of next bond

For lover's sake, for man’s sake, in a deep one night, she stealthy did abscond.

Even departed, the geese may find their mates beneath the same sky,

The pitiful maiden, in a different realm, to him, she cannot draw to nigh.

When autumn arrives, she seeks news from migratory wild ducks and geese,

As spring departs, she weaved the poems by tears and loaded the floral breeze.

With lavish generosity, all of her wealth she bestows upon society,

Then abruptly departs to meet a man, running to a secluded place, lonely.
