Psalms of the Brethren CC: Girimananda
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
God rains as ’twere a melody most sweet.
Snug is my little hut, sheltered, well-roofed.
Therein I dwell, my heart serene and calm.
Now an it pleaseth thee to rain, god, rain!
God rains as ’twere a melody most sweet.
Snug is my little hut, sheltered, well-roofed.
Therein I dwell, and peace within my heart.
Now, etc.
Therein I dwell, all passion purged away.
Therein I dwell, all hatred purged away.
Therein I dwell, all error purged away.
Now an it pleaseth thee to rain, god, rain!
