when you stood hiding in a remote dark corner

and stealthily gazed at the sun full of love

you looked lovely in full splendour charming the world-

but when you gathered the boldness and appeared before the sun

to declare your deep love in open light

what makes you so pale and dissolve your strong self, o moon?
