And a full moon of darkness, borne along by a supple branch.
The wet branch strives to reach it
Its light has drawn near, but reaching it is hard.
Its light draws near, but is difficult to grasp

Whenever it appears, it draws every onlooker to itself.
When it begins to entice every onlooker
As though people's hearts, in loving it, were one heart.
It seems the hearts of people are enamored with it
