Translation
KKS XI: 512 if there is but a / seed even on rocky cliffs / a pine may grow dare / I not hope my steadfast love / will grow into reality
KKS XI: 513 like the river mists / that float every morning / up into the skies / my yearning soul roves far from / me such is the world of love
KKS XI: 514 there is never a / time when I can forget I / can only cry for / love’s entanglements loudly / as the cranes among the reeds
KKS XI: 515 at twilight as I / tightly bind the sash of my / Chinese robe again / the chill night incessantly / my longings return to you (Rodd 2017, pp. 196-197)
KKS XI: 512 Because there were seeds - / that is why pine trees have grown / even among rocks. / If I go on loving you, / will we not meet in the end.
KKS XI: 513 So grievous this love, / my sad heart never ceases / to wander the skies, / floating as every morning / mist hovers above the stream.
KKS XI: 514 Of forgetfulness / no portion is granted me: / distraught by passion, / I lament aloud, crying / as cranes cry among the reeds.
KKS XI: 515 The hour when the sun / has traversed its daily course / and dark settles down - / ah, that indeed is the time / when longing overwhelms me. (McCullough 1985, pp. 118-119)
