Bah! What fantastic snow-flakes, ch,
Dancing merrily, ha! ha! ha!
Lo, their tiny feet raising so!
Death is sweet, to be sure,
Laugh they go to death,
What delicious teeth, ha! ha! ha!
Suppose we die together, ch,
With the snow dying upon a pond?
What a fantastic end, ha! ha! ha!
What a fantastic end to die
In the dying music of ancient love!
Behind the snow and music die!
– Yone Noguchi
