Nature
Short Stanza VI: Tell me, doth any know the dark recess
Translated by Basil Hall Chamberlain (1900) · From Short Stanzas
Nature
Tell me, doth any know the dark recess
Where dwell the winds that scatter the spring flow'rs?
Hide it not from me! By the heav'nly pow'rs,
I'll search them out to upbraid their wickedness!
