I Saw Your Names Written On The Sky

I saw that precious names scribled on the sky,
I saw your names caved perfectly on the sky.
It stood alone, glittering and glowing like the
Sun and stars that hold together the fragment
Of the world from collapsing on men of the earth.

With the song in my wet throat I sang,
A youthful joy dance along with harps,
I borrowed the earful legs of the maidens,
Cushioned my songs with the sweetness of heavens.
Then I looked at the moon leaped in fearful joy.

I saw your names written above principalities,
I saw your names inscripted among the gods,
I saw your smile caved on a spotless slate for peace,
Posterity embrace the atmosphere with tomorrow' eyes.
I woke up this morning with a mouthful of hymns.

If there are things undone to the mountainous sky,
If there are roads that parted in the sky for a princess,
If there are houses yet to be grown from the sky,
If there are children abandoned here and there,
Don't be amazed most beloved one, it is 'cause of you

Perhaps, most beloved one of my heart,
If I fall tomorrow, don't weep for my soul.
I have seen that which my heart longs for,
I have seen your name written on the sky
For generations to behold a princess of goodness.
