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]

gollark: Bee you, we really need those.
gollark: If technological progress halts or reverses, there are bigger problems.
gollark: We can reasonably expect a nicer in some way solution in the time it'll take for uranium to meaningfully run out, if anything remotely close to current rates of technological progress continues.
gollark: What doesn't?
