Christina Rossetti, The Wind Has Such a Rainy Sound
Sing-Song XLV
The wind has such a rainy sound
Moaning through the town,
The sea has such a windy sound, –
Will the ships go down?
The apples in the orchard
Tumble from their tree. –
Oh will the ships go down, go down,
In the windy sea?
Sing-Sang XLV
Wind singt kalter Tropfen Lied,
trostlos Scheiben blinken.
Meer singt kalten Windes Lied,
werden Schiffe sinken?
Wie von ihren Zweigen
Äpfel niedersausen.
Schlingt hinab die Schiffe, schlingt sie
Meeresbrausen?
