The wind has flattened the yellow mother-wort:
Above it in the distance they see the walls of a house.
"There surely must be people living who'll give you something to eat."
They tap at the door, but no one comes: they look in, but the kitchen is empty.
They stand hesitating in the lonely road and their tears fall like rain.
