This is a modern poem by Japanese poet Shimazaki Tōson.
His poems praise labor and love and demand the liberation of personality.
This also reflects that after the failure of the freedom and civil rights movement
The wandering and melancholy mood of petty-bourgeois intellectuals.
His poems sing the joys and sorrows of youth with refined and elegant language and fluent poetic style.
It opened the way for modern Japanese poetry and had a great influence on modern Japanese poetry.
In my heart
There are hidden secrets.
Now I am a living sacrifice,
Who knows except you?
If I were a bird,
Flying around in front of your bedroom window.
Without stopping wings from morning till night,
Sing a love song in my heart for you.
If I were a space shuttle,
Let your white fingers,
Put my Sauvignon Blanc in spring,
When soft silk is woven into cloth.
If I were a grass,
I grew up in the wild, paving the way for you.
As long as I can kiss your footsteps,
I'm willing to get you into trouble.
Sigh overflows my bedding,
Sorrow soaked my pillow.
Don't wait for the early bird to wake up your dreams,
The bed was wet with tears.
Even if there are 1000 words,
How can you show my heart?
Only a fiery heart,
Send you a piano sound.
