Nature
Morning
Translated by L. Cranmer-Byng (1916) · From A Feast of Lanterns (1916)
Nature
Sunbeams through twinkling pinewoods cast
Their shadows on my window screen.
A night of clouds and rain is past
And, newly blue and freshly green,
The Dawn rebuilds my world at last.
Pear-tree and plum-tree shed their burden sweet,
And children's happy voices rouse the street.
