Nature
Short Stanza XLIII: The roaring torrent scatters far and near
Translated by Basil Hall Chamberlain (1900) · From Short Stanzas
Nature
The roaring torrent scatters far and near
Its silv'ry drops:--Oh! let me pick them up!
For when of grief I drain some day the cup,
Each will do service as a bitter tear.
