The First Rain
Angelos Sikelianos
We leaned out of the window.
• Everything around us
was one with our soul.
Sulphur-pale, the clouds
darkened the fields, the vines;
wind moaned in the trees
with a secret turbulence,
and the quick swallow went
breasting across the grass.
Suddenly the thunder broke,
the wellhead broke,
and dancing came the rain.
Dust leaped into the air.
We, our nostrils quivering,
opened our lips to drink
the earth’s heavy smell,
C
€
to let I line a spring
water us deep inside
(the rain had already wet
our thirsting faces,
like the olive and the mullen).
And shoulder touching shoulder,
we asked: “What smell is this
that cuts the air like a bee?
From balsam, pine, acanthus,
from osier or thyme?”
So many the scents that, breathing
I became a lyre caressed
by the breath’s profusion.
Sweetness filled my palate;
and as our eyes met again
all my blood sang out.
I bent down to the vine,
its leaves shaking, to drink
its honey and its flower;
and—my thoughts like heavy
grapes.
bramble-thick my breath—
I could not, as I breathed,
choose among the scents,
but culled them all, and drank them
। as one drinks joy or sorrow
k suddenly sent by fate;
s I drank them all,
• and when I touched your waist.
* my blood became a nightingale,
became like the running waters.
