When the dewdrops refracted the first ray of sunshine, I heard the voice singing courage
When the rainbow emerges after the rain, I hear voices singing love
When the flames ignite the vanilla, I hear voices singing sacrifice
When the starlight shines through the darkness, I hear the voice of the eternal hero singing
But Uvenilia, poet who sings of the greatest heroes, please tell me——
Where is the fear that courage hides?
Where are the thoughts that accompany love?
Where is the sorrow of sacrifice?
Before they became heroes, weren't they just like us?
