Be not Defeated by the Rain

by Miyazawa Kenji

(Translated by David Sulz)

Be not defeated by the rain,

nor let the wind prove your better.

Succumb not to the snows of winter,

nor be bested by the heat of summer.

Be strong in body.

Unfettered by desire.

Not enticed to anger.

Cultivate a quiet joy.

Count yourself last in everything.

Put others before you.

This is my goal, the person I strive to become.
