woodbine�察�Till once they sought the bright AEtnaean flowers�察�And their
glad mistress fled from summer hours With Hades�察�far from olive�察�corn�察�
and vine。 And they have sought her all the wide world through Till many
years�察�and wisdom�察�and much wrong Have filled and changed their song�察�
and o'er the blue Rings deadly sweet the magic of the song�察�And whoso
hears must listen till he die Far on the flowery shores of Sicily。
So is it with this singing art of ours�察 �That once with maids went
maidenlike�察 �and played With woven dances in the poplar´shade�察�And all
her song was but of lady's bowers And the returning swallows�察�and spring
flowers�察�Till forth to seek a shadow´queen she strayed�察�A shadowy land�察�
and now hath overweighed Her singing chaplet with the snow and showers。
Yes�察�fair well´water for the bitter brine She left�察�and by the margin of life's
sea Sings�察�and her song is full of the sea's moan�察�And wild with dread�察�and
love of Proserpine�察�And whoso once has listened to her�察�he His whole life
long is slave to her alone。

TRANSLATIONS
HYMN TO THE WINDS�察�THE WINDS ARE INVOKED BY THE
WINNOWERS OF CORN。
Du Bellay�察�1550。
To you�察�troop so fleet�察�That with winged wandering feet�察�Through the
wide world pass�察�And with soft murmuring Toss the green shades of spring
In woods and grass�察�Lily and violet I give�察�and blossoms wet�察�Roses and
dew�察 �This branch of blushing roses�察 �Whose fresh bud uncloses�察 �Wind´
flowers too。
Ah�察�winnow with sweet breath�察�Winnow the holt and heath�察�Round this
retreat�察�Where all the golden mom We fan the gold o' the corn�察�In the sun's
heat。
MOONLIGHT。
Jacques Tahureau。
The high Midnight was garlanding her head With many a shining star
in shining skies�察�And�察 �of her grace�察 �a slumber on mine eyes�察�And�察 �after
sorrow�察�quietness was shed。 Far in dim fields cicalas jargoned A thin shrill
clamour of complaints and cries�察�And all the woods were pallid�察�in strange
wise�察�With pallor of the sad moon overspread。
Then came my lady to that lonely place�察 �And�察 �from her palfrey
stooping�察 �did embrace And hang upon my neck�察 �and kissed me over�察�
Wherefore the day is far less dear than night�察�And sweeter is the shadow
than the light�察�Since night has made me such a happy lover。

THE GRAVE AND THE ROSE。
Victor Hugo。
The Grave said to the Rose�察�'What of the dews of morn�察�Love's flower�察�
what end is theirs��' 'And what of souls outworn�察�Of them whereon doth
close The tomb's mouth unawares��' The Rose said to the Grave。
The Rose said�察�'In the shade From the dawn's tears is made A perfume
faint and strange�察�Amber and honey sweet。' 'And all the spirits fleet Do
suffer a sky´change�察 �More strangely than the dew�察�To God's own angels
new��' The Grave said to the Rose。
A VOW TO HEAVENLY VENUS。
Du Bellay。
We that with like hearts love�察�we lovers twain�察�New wedded in the
village by thy fane�察�Lady of all chaste love�察�to thee it is We bring these
amaranths�察 �these white lilies�察�A sign�察 �and sacrifice�察 �may Love�察 �we pray�察�
Like amaranthine flowers�察 �feel no decay�察 �Like these cool lilies may our
loves remain�察�Perfect and pure�察�and know not any stain�察�And be our hearts�察�
from this thy holy hour�察�Bound each to each�察�like flower to wedded flower。
OF HIS LADY'S OLD AGE。
Ronsard。
When you are very old�察�at evening You'll sit and spin beside the fire�察�
and say�察�Humming my songs�察�'Ah well�察�ah well´a´day� �When I was young�察�
of me did Ronsard sing。' None of your maidens that doth hear the thing�察�
Albeit with her weary task foredone�察�But wakens at my name�察�and calls
you one Blest�察�to be held in long remembering。

I shall be low beneath the earth�察�and laid On sleep�察�a phantom in the
myrtle shade�察�While you beside the fire�察�a grandame grey�察�My love�察�your
pride�察�remember and regret�察�Ah�察�love me�察�love� �we may be happy yet�察�And
gather roses�察�while 't is called to´day。
SHADOWS OF HIS LADY。
Jacques Tahureau。
Within the sand of what far river lies The gold that gleams in tresses
of my Love�拭�What highest circle of the Heavens above Is jewelled with
such stars as are her eyes�拭�And where is the rich sea whose coral vies With
her red lips�察�that cannot kiss enough�拭�What dawn´lit garden knew the rose�察�
whereof The fled soul lives in her cheeks' rosy guise�拭�
What Parian marble that is loveliest Can match the whiteness of her
brow and breast�拭 �When drew she breath from the Sabaean glade�拭 �Oh
happy rock and river�察�sky and sea�察�Gardens�察�and glades Sabaean�察�all that be
The far´off splendid semblance of my maid� �
APRIL。
Remy Belleau�察�1560。
April�察�pride of woodland ways�察�Of glad days�察�April�察�bringing hope of
prime�察�To the young flowers that beneath Their bud sheath Are guarded in
their tender time�察�
April�察�pride of fields that be Green and free�察�That in fashion glad and
gay�察 �Stud with flowers red and blue�察 �Every hue�察 �Their jewelled spring
array�察�
April�察 �pride of murmuring Winds of spring�察 �That beneath the
winnowed air�察�Trap with subtle nets and sweet Flora's feet�察�Flora's feet�察�the
fleet and fair�察�
April�察 �by thy hand caressed�察 �From her breast�察 �Nature scatters

everywhere Handfuls of all sweet perfumes�察 �Buds and blooms�察 �Making
faint the earth and air。
April�察�joy of the green hours�察�Clothes with flowers Over all her locks
of gold My sweet Lady�察 �and her breast With the blest Buds of summer
manifold。
April�察�with thy gracious wiles�察�Like the smiles�察�Smiles of Venus�察�and
thy breath Like her breath�察�the gods' delight�察。�From their height They take
the happy air beneath�撮�
It is thou that�察�of thy grace�察�From their place In the far´off isles dost
bring Swallows over earth and sea�察 �Glad to be Messengers of thee�察 �and
Spring。
Daffodil and eglantine�察�And woodbine�察�Lily�察�violet�察�and rose Plentiful
in April fair�察�To the air�察�Their pretty petals to unclose。
Nightingales ye now may hear�察�Piercing clear�察�Singing in the deepest
shade�察�Many and many a babbled note Chime and float�察�Woodland music
through the glade。
April�察�all to welcome thee�察�Spring sets free Ancient flames�察�and with
low breath Wakes the ashes grey and old That the cold Chilled within our
hearts to death。
Thou beholdest in the warm Hours�察 �the swarm Of the thievish bees�察�
that flies Evermore from bloom to bloom For perfume�察�Hid away in tiny
thighs。
Her cool shadows May can boast�察 �Fruits almost Ripe�察 �and gifts of
fertile dew�察 �Manna´sweet and honey´sweet�察 �That complete Her flower
garland fresh and new。
Nay�察 �but I will give my praise To these days�察 �Named with the glad
name of Her ��4�� That from out the foam o' the sea Came to be Sudden
light on earth and air。
AN OLD TUNE。
Gerard De Nerval。
There is an air for which I would disown Mozart's�察�Rossini's�察�Weber's

melodies�察 � A sweet sad air that languishes and sighs�察�And keeps its secret
charm for me alone。
Whene'er I hear that music vague and old�察�Two hundred years are mist
that rolls away�察 �The thirteenth Louis reigns�察 �and I behold A green land
golden in the dying day。
An old red castle�察 �strong with stony towers�察 �The windows gay with
many´coloured glass�察�Wide plains�察�and rivers flowing among flowers�察�That
bathe the castle basement as they pass。
In antique weed�察�with dark eyes and gold hair�察�A lady looks forth from
her window high�察 �It may be that I knew and found her fair�察 �In some
forgotten life�察�long time gone by。
OLD LOVES。
Henri Murger。
Louise�察�have you forgotten yet The corner of the flowery land�察�The
ancient garden where we met�察�My hand that trembled in your hand�拭�Our
lips found words scarce sweet enough�察�As low beneath the willow´trees
We sat�察�have you forgotten�察�love�拭�Do you remember�察�love Louise�拭�
Marie�察 �have you forgotten yet The loving barter that we made�拭 �The
rings we changed�察 �the suns that set�察 �The woods fulfilled with sun and
shade�拭�The fountains that were musical By many an ancient trysting tree ´
Marie�察�have you forgotten all�拭�Do you remember�察�love Marie�拭�
Christine�察�do you remember yet Your room with scents and roses gay�拭�
My garret ´ near the sky 'twas set ´ The April hours�察�the nights of May�拭�
The clear calm nights ´ the stars above That whispere
