When I was sensible/I said to the scarecrow/Be my bride/She didn't say anything/She didn't dare to look at me/She just stared at the distance/I knew she was waiting/A promise from herself.
When I got married/the bride was beautiful/the first day after the wedding/my mother said that the scarecrow who stood in the field for 27 years/fell down last night/my mother said faintly that I would tie another one/I closed my eyes/quietly … quietly … shed tears.
