The program notes from the composer's own premiere in 1916 state the following: "On a journey through a desolate wilderness, a young person, struggling to proceed, raised their tear-swollen eyes and sighed in despair towards the sky. Suddenly, they discovered a star quietly shining at the zenith of the vast sky. Amidst tears, the young person gazed at the star, silently extending their withered arms, bathed in its light." This work was later performed as a dance poem by Baku Ishii and Seiko Takada. (Refer to Shunjusha: Kosaku Yamada Complete Works, Vol. 4)
