Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
We used to meet at dusk Sitting on the old bridge While fog surrounds the hills It covers the road past our sight
No one knows where we are Only the sky and the autumn leafs When you said "I love you" The miserable clouds disappeared

I tell my neighbor: Come and spend the night with me, I have figs, and almonds, and sugar. We sing, because you are lonely, And singing will ease your longing. I have a home, and a small area of land, So I am safe now. The land of my country is land from heaven, And on it sleeps the painful time. I tell our house: If I am alone, And snow and cold blows, My house is as fire to me, And the winter passes, friendly as a field of roses.
