The Mountain Weeps. Month of January.

Blue moon with white waves;
The mountain pool glitters and swirls.

From on high drops the waterfall,
Tears from the moon shaped pool
White in sunlight,
Blue in shadow,
Dropping to the lower pool,
Blue moon with white waves.

Three people watch the water fall,
They watch in silence
Then turn away,
Their kettle steams on the green verge.

Blue moon with white waves.
Raw tears cut through ancient stone.
