'Tears fall in my heart
As soft rain on the town
What is this ennui hat seeps through my heart?
O soft din of the rain the earth on the on the roofs
For the yearning heart
O the poem of the rain!
Senseless tears
In the self-rejecting heart
What! No hint of betrayal?
Senseless anguish!
For sure the worst pain
Is not knowing why
Without love without hate
My heart is so full of pain'
