This is a fantasy, which is based on my personal experience.
Fills all my heart with finest booze,
And on my lips your bitter kiss
Is sweeter than the mango juice.
Our fragile love – Alas! – is dead,
And ne'er will our souls unite!
Wherefore you needed to behead
This fair maiden? Why?

A Sad Daydream
The scent of blooming apple-treesFills all my heart with finest booze,
And on my lips your bitter kiss
Is sweeter than the mango juice.
Our fragile love – Alas! – is dead,
And ne'er will our souls unite!
Wherefore you needed to behead
This fair maiden? Why?
