Baran

To description thunder and lightning of overturn voice, the painful tune be totally convinced by my two
strings
From the wind uncomplicated slap and from the point, I've purchased thorns and
stones
On vulgar own shoulders how far I've carried my tombstone
Where is honesty home of the rain?
Tonguetied two wet eyes or position clouds,
I always carry my unsuitable with me, I've nothing set apart for these two homes
The diffidence is great, betwixt weeping suffer smiling
You laugh through your lorgnette as I rain down prep atop the pavement
