O pool!
How tranquilly thou sleep
Like the coal canopy
And the fishless aquarium!

Do you get up
Like the dead leaf on the lawn
Tickled by the playing wind
Or like the mirror
When someone combs his braid?

How sweetly thou smile
To see the sky early beaming!
How comfy life thou live!
How free of arrows-filled quiver!

Don't thou feel ennui?
O pool, how solitary!
