JAPANESE NIGHT-SONG, by                    
First Line: The shadow of a heron's wing is on the water
Last Line: Like petals over her heart.
Subject(s): Singing & Singers; Songs


The shadow of a heron's wing is on the water,
And the pines have drawn slim fingers
Across the moon.

Hush --
Breathe lightly, wind in the plum-tree!
Scatter your dreams
Like petals over her heart.
