Why did the lamp go out ?
I shaded it with my cloak to save it,
from the wind, that is why the lamp
went out.
Why did the flower fade ?
I pressed it to my heart with anxious love,
that is why the flower faded.
Why did the stream dry up ?
I put a dam across it to have it for
my use, that is why the stream dried up.
Why did the harp-string break?
I tried to force a note that was
beyond its power, that is why
the harp-string is broken
