by Wang-Seng-Yu (465 - 522)
Translation by Launcelot Alfred Cranmer-Byng (1872 - 1945)

Language: English  after the Chinese (中文) 
High o'er the hill the moon barque steers.
   The lantern lights depart.
Dead springs are stirring in my heart;
      And there are tears. . . .
But that which makes my grief more deep
Is that you know not when I weep.

Composition:

    Set to music by Gary Bachlund (b. 1947), "Tears", 2010 [ medium voice and piano ]
