The poem (translation)

Blowing wind, blowing wind, blowing wind,
In the breeze flying leaves night through...
Group of trees, troop of trees roundly swaying,
Where are you, where are you, where are you?

Falling rain, falling snow, falling snow,
How to find, when to find never know!
Pure of yours image rolls tired my mind
Everyday, every step, every time!

Drizzling sky misty thoughts on the field...
Blowing wind, blowing wind, blowing wind![2]
