Love
Short Stanza XXXIII: Upon the causeway through the land of dreams
Translated by Basil Hall Chamberlain (1900) · From Short Stanzas
Love
Upon the causeway through the land of dreams
Surely the dews must plentifully light:--
For when I've wandered up and down all night,
My sleeve's so wet that nought will dry its streams.
