English Translation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I stood on a tower in the wet, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And New Year and Old Year met, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And winds were roaring and blowing; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I said, ‘O years, that meet in tears, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you all that is worth the knowing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science enough and exploring, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wanderers coming and going, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matter enough for deploring, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But aught that is worth the knowing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seas at my feet were flowing, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waves on the shingle pouring, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old year roaring and blowing, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And New Year blowing and roaring. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
