The Source
12 lines✦
LL day the air triumphs with its two voicesOf wind and rainAs loud as if in anger it rejoices,Drowning the sound of earthThat gulps and gulps in choked endeavour vainTo swallow the rain. Half the night, too, only the wild air speaksWith wind and rain,Till forth the dumb source of the river breaksAnd drowns the rain and wind,Bellows like a giant bathing in mighty mirthThe triumph of earth.
