レモンの(れもんの)香りで(かおりでお)一瞬(いっしゅん)だけ澄んだ(すんだ)心が(こころが)戻り(もどり)、光太郎を(こうたろうを)見つめて(みつめて)微笑んだ(ほほえんだ)

In 'Lemon Elegy,' depicting the final moment of Chieko's death, when Chieko bit into the lemon Kotaro offered, the refreshing scent returned her clear consciousness for a split second, and she stared at him and smiled. She then quietly passed away. This collection of love poems dedicated by Kotaro throughout his life shines as the immortal monument of Japanese love literature.
