The Outer Music

"...the world is a dreamland..."

The Outer Music

In dreams the gods told me that the world is a dreamland
So I forgot the honor and disgrace of life, even believe not day and night
My body began to be emptiness, as if the outer music sounded from another universe
Even the singing of gods roared in my ears like thunder and lightning
And the garden from the kingdom of heaven flashed in front of me
