Chapter 7 head down
Thoughts fly high, I bow my head,
walking slowly, walking slowly,
in the course of time
My life pursues a hope.
beside a gray road
I see paths full of flowers:
there is a rose
full of light, full of life,
Also full of bitterness.
O woman, you are the flower that blooms in the garden:
Like your virgin skin, those roses
Indescribably fragrant and delicate,
But also full of melancholy nostalgia.
