What does it cost to gaze at the moon,
how much to spend to know splendor
of heart, what loan most I take out
not to be lonely, can I buy love and
pretend it a gift, will the mansion I
inherit be filled with rooms empty, is
there no tune to free me from sorrow,
can I not share sunrise with others,
need I pay to be with my brothers?
