Lake is slumbering
By the autumnal wood on shingle
The vast lake is slumbering on,
At the bottom, in red mingled,
Like a fire with gold upon.
Like in flames, the source is set,
Shining out full of glamour,
As the star of day sunsets
In tranquility to enamor
Now fading under the mount
The city sank in dark to be
Slowly the stars are coming out
Full of beauty and secrecy!
In this moment, dusk still vivid,
As my eyes are drunk with awing,
I realize, the poetic spirit
Is inspired by a new longing
.
