A reddish leaf, I am a reddish leaf.
Only on a straight path do I walk,
never in a crooked way.
Before me stretches verdant beauty.
To either side the radiant glow of the dawn.
With head held high I walk,
never with head bending low.
In my arms is the strength of thunder,
my eyes gaze with pure and unclouded sight.
Only simple and clear thought do I think,
never in a crooked way.
