And the lightning laughs at the clouds,
like a warrior who runs without getting weary or faint.
Or like a night watchman who dozes off,
then opens one eye for an instant, and shuts it.
And the lightning laughs at the clouds,
like a warrior who runs without getting weary or faint.
Or like a night watchman who dozes off,
then opens one eye for an instant, and shuts it.
