A Landscape, Colorful Yet Gloomy

A distorted shadow of a vagabond 
goes the field bobbing up and down 
in the sunny and warm spring day’s shimmering air

For the flowers in the field are at their best,
the birds on the treetops enjoy to their hearts content

The upside-down green grass field, see through between hind legs 
of a fawn who knelt to quench his thirst from the stream where 
the sparkling water bubbled up from the spring overflows, 
is the deep blue sky extended to the boundless infinity

The meadow, 
where the colt gallops while flapping his mane in air 
though they are yet to be grown; 
the grassland,
where the calf follows her mother with the slender 
and effeminate legs though walk falteringly,
is the deep blue sky joined in the horizon laying yonder

Although, the flowers in the field 
and the foot of mountains is sweet-scented and brilliant, 
and the birds in the woods and the groves are singing 
joyfully and chirping their day away, 
why the heart of vagabond who was shoved and pushed by the sunlight, 
and, now, walks to the horizon between sky and the prairie as a piece of 
drifting cloud, is so lonely and dejected
