SO DIM, so dark, So dense, so dull, So damp, so dank, So dead! The weather, now warm, now cold, Makes it harder Than ever to forget! How can a few cups of thin wine Bring warmth against The chilly winds of sunset? I recognize the geese flying overhead: My old friends, Bring not the old memories back! Let Fallen flowers lie where they fall. To what purpose And for whom should I decorate ? By the window shut, Guarding it along, To see the sky has turned so black! And the dizzle on the kola nut Keeps on droning: Pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat! Is this the kind of mood and moment To be expressed By one word "sad?"
