oliver knussen - the voice of the rain lyrics

Loading...

and who art thou? said i to the soft+falling shower
which, strange to tell, gave me an answer, as here translated:
i am the poem of earth, said the voice of the rain
eternal i rise impalpable out of the land and the bottomless sea
upward to heaven, whence, vaguely form’d, altogether changed, and yet the same
i descend to lave the drouths, atomies, dust+layers of the globe
and all that in them without me were seeds only, latent, unborn;
and forever, by day and night, i give back life to my own origin, and make pure and beautify it;
(for song, issuing from its birth+place, after fulfilment, wandering
reck’d or unreck’d. duly with love returns.)
