-The Song Giver-

    _The pearl white skin she wears,
    with soft blue eyes of sapphire she shows.
    Slender graceful body of hers,
    is a beauty a dancer has.

    The lips of hers curve it be,
    a smile she always carry,
    like the blossoming flower in times of spring.
    Her long straight hair of pale gold,
    reminds one the golden rice paddy in the fields.

    She speaks in tones of melody,
    with words that only lyrics use.
    Strange it sounds and incomprehensible it may be,
    but the message that is given from her heart,
    perhaps words are not needed at all.

    Travel she does in modest blue robes she wear,
    with a wine gourd over the shoulder of hers.
    A heavy case she carries one with the burden of weight,
    a seven-stringed zither to be found within.
    Umbrella of bamboo it be,
    always found in the hands of hers close-by.

    The image of the song giver gives,
    a vagabond and a wanderer to all._
