I am singing the Ghost Part.
Pretty Girl. Inflicted with Sadness in the Spring Breeze.
Showing Only Half Her Façade. Very Sad Low Notes.
Hiding in Within the Young Willow Trees.
There are Tears on Her Cheeks.
Aye Yah! It's Been Said, Angels Have No Heart Aches.
We've Just Meet, So Why Are You Crying?
There is This Scholar, Who Can Never Understand my Pain.

In His Poem, Is His Sympathy? Or His Mockery?
Flowers Flow Lightly, Alone In The Wind.
For Ten Thousand Generations, It Has Been The Same.
Her Butler sneaks off to get wine.
