Poem
The Uglei Lake
Tightly enclosed by hills, mysterious Cloaked in Forest Night dawns Uglei Lake, A dark eye to the sun Only looking up at the hour of noon. World strange silence reigns around here, it stimulates No hint of the abyss fair to levels Upstairs Only in treetops of the forest Converts like distant singing a roar.
