Love
Short Stanza XXXIV: Fast fall the silv'ry dews, albeit not yet
Translated by Basil Hall Chamberlain (1900) · From Short Stanzas
Love
Fast fall the silv'ry dews, albeit not yet
'Tis autumn weather; for each drop's a tear,
Shed till the pillow of my hand is wet,
As I wake from dreaming of my dear.
