Lotus of the Marshlands

O lotus of marshlands

Tell me if you hear

The swishing of the trees,

And the stealth of the tigers

Above your dancing waters!

Tell me if the tigress is flustered

Or if the snake is raging!

Tell me do the oars of the boats

That barely touch you, bring you joy?

Do you find the sun a friend,

Or just the rolling death?

Does the rain hurt your soul,

Or does it just flow?
