|
Gently blows the east wind; -- |
|
The wind followed by the rain. |
|
In the time of fear and dread, |
|
It was all I and you. |
|
In your time of rest and pleasure, |
|
You have turned and cast me off. |
|
Gently blows the east wind; -- |
|
And the wind is followed by the tornado. |
|
In the time of fear and dread, |
|
You placed me in your breast. |
|
In your time of rest and pleasure, |
|
You have cast me off like an abandoned thing. |
|
Gently blows the east wind; -- |
|
And on the rock-covered tops of the hills. |
|
There is no grass which is not dying, |
|
No tree which is not withering. |
|
You forget my great virtues, |
|
And think of my small faults. |
