The poem (translation)

Blowing wind, blowing wind, blowing wind,
In the breeze flying leaves night through...
Rows of trees, troops of trees - roundly bent,
Where are you, where are you, where are you?

Falling rain, falling snow, falling snow,
You're the one I can't find anymore!
Pure of yours icon walks by my side
Everyday, every step, every time!

Drizzling sky misty thoughts on the field...
Blowing wind, blowing wind, blowing wind![2]
