Grief of a grain picking bird,

O Bird! Who can pick your

Tears from your eyes, while

You’re busy picking grains;

You don’t even know

When someone casts the evil eye

Or capture and imprison you,

For all your life;

 You’ll forget to tweet and to chant,

You’re innocent Bird!

You dream while eating grains

At times to fulfill your dreams

When the chilled tears drop on

From dreary eyes

On the land of your fateful heart;

A forest of sadness grow there

 The trees bear fruit of only grief;

But you innocent Bird!

You are unaware of it all

And will never know

…………
