Nature
Short Stanza XIV: The silv'ry dewdrops that in autumn light
Translated by Basil Hall Chamberlain (1900) · From Short Stanzas
Nature
The silv'ry dewdrops that in autumn light
Upon the moors, must surely jewels be;
For there they hang all over hill and lea,
Strung on the threads the spiders weave so tight.
