I
The cherry blossoms
fade into spring
like melting snow
upon evergreen
II
The cherry blossoms
drift in a sad air
faces from the past
in slow despair
accounted for
remembered
no longer clear
III
The cherry blossoms
dispel no pain
only the river
passing quietly
encounters change
IV
Let me pass the last day
beneath the cherry blossoms
when the moon is full
and the wind is in from the sea
