Nature
Rain and Snow
Translated by Basil Hall Chamberlain (1900) · From Love Songs
Nature
Forever on Mikáne's crest,
That soars so far away,
The rain it rains in ceaseless sheets,
The snow it snows all day.
And ceaseless as the rain and snow
That fall from heaven above,
So ceaselessly, since first we met,
I love my darling love.
