Nature
Rain at Dawn
Translated by L. Cranmer-Byng (1916) · From A Feast of Lanterns (1916)
Nature
At dawn the crickets shrill, then cease their ’plain,
The dying candle flickers through my eaves;
Though windows bar the wild dust and the rain,
I hear the drip, drip, dripping on the broad banana leaves.
