THE RAIN
     Ce deuil est sans raison
     - PAUL VERLAIN

Rain weeps down my window,
And seeps in my soul;
Its sound on my rooftop
Devours me whole.

It dampens my spirit,
I ache without reason;
Not for hate, nor for love,
Nor a lover's cruel treason.

This sickness of heart
Is so hard to endure,
For when pain has no cause
Then the hurt has no cure.
