| A Boat upon the Waters |  |
| |
|
Niou appeared again at Uji. He took Ukifune by boat to a small hidden cottage. She clung to Niou, frightened by the distant shore. He was delighted. The moon in the early morning sky shone cloudless upon the waters. They were at the Islet of Orange, said the boatman, pulling up to a large rock over which trailed long branches of evergreen. They exchanged poems of everlasting love that compared their love to the pine trees.
