NIGHTINGALE

Is that the sound of Nightingale?
It is nine in the night
And other birds are asleep

Has somebody demolished its nest?
For the sound is a cry

Has its partner divorced him?
It must be male Nightingale crying

What is the joy of such a cry
In a full moon night?

Or is it because of the moon?
Today it is full. It is its death day

Please stop dear Nightingale
For your cry
Or that sound I hear
Increases my loneliness
And salts my eyes.
