Source text in English

The Beginning

All in a moment, years ago,
The boy I was became a man:
Suddenly my life began!
I saw the world before me— So
That ploughman by his horses stands
Sweating on the first hill's brow,
Having left the riverlands
Furrowed in the vale below,
And sees a mountainside to plough,
Barren rock to blunt his share,
Thunder hanging in the air,
And the black peak above him, bare,
Waiting now.
—Let him plough it if he dare!

நெற்றியின் வியர்வை நிலத்தில் வீழ்ந்திட உழவன் ஒருவன் குதிரையில் ஏறிக் கழனியை நீங்கி, கணவாய் நுழைந்து, ஏரின் நுனியை மழுங்கச் செய்யும் தரிசாய் மாறிய மலையை உழுதிடக் கருத்துடன் அங்கே காத்தே நிற்கிறான்
Flows well
There is r​hyme, like​ a trampol​ine, hears​ very well​.

காற்றில் இடிகள் காத்திருக்க, அவன் மேலே கரும் மேகம் வெறுமனே பூத்திருக்க, காத்திருத்தல் நன்றே.
