Like a summer rain she fell <br />That hot September hour <br />And caught unawares he was drenched, <br />He lost all power <br />Of thinking clearly, went giddy, <br />Shook - <br />Shaking within him the citadel of equanimity <br />To a rubble. <br /> <br />'I would go <br />Through a hundred times as strong rain, <br />A thousand times such trouble <br />(She was uncommon) , <br />If over the ruins of my equanimity <br />She will build a new strength <br />Of love, or she is no woman!
