Woe is me,
whom fate has put on a rolling log,
set on a shaking leaf,
I know not which way to turn,
what course to take,
what road to follow.
In me, my mother planted a sapling,
but she could not make it grow
at the edge of a thundercloud,
the hard roots of a birch tree,
the dark night of autumn.
Though the heavens be a perfect design,
and the Big Dipper skillfully crafted,
what about this life of mine--
the life of one born less beautiful?
