Gifts of the Night

Wen | Haizi Figure | Network Editor| Liema Green Onion

Night rises from the earth

Obscuring the bright sky

Desolate land after the harvest

Night rises from within you

You come from afar, I go far away

The long way passes through here

The sky is nothing

Why comfort me

Desolate land after the harvest

People took away a year's harvest

Took the grain and rode away the horse

The people who stay in the ground are buried deeply

The pitchfork sparkled and straw piled up on the fire

Rice is piled up in a dark barn

The barn was too dark, too silent, too fruitful

It was also too desolate, and I saw the eyes of Yama in the harvest

Flocks of black raindrop-like birds

Fly from dusk into night

The night is nothing

Walking on the road

Sing loudly

Strong winds blow over the hills

Above is the boundless sky
