young willow maid
calling to her lost lover
standing by the water
young willow maid
tears sit on her eye lashes
watches the storm
she sings her sad song
calling to her lost lover
who’ll never return
ah – no sails no sign
there’s only young willow maid
standing by the water

Thank you… a poignant story there in your troiku… so glad you tried out the new variation. 🙂

I love this variation … for some reason I found it slightly more difficult than the original form … but I think it’s more natural in your variation … I’ve always had a bit of a problem putting the long line at the beginning of a ku.

Beautiful! It reminds me of the lyrics found in a lot of folk music. 🙂
