Living
Short Stanza XXV: With roseate hues that pierce th' autumnal haze
Translated by Basil Hall Chamberlain (1900) · From Short Stanzas
Living
With roseate hues that pierce th' autumnal haze
The spreading dawn lights up Akashi's shore;
But the fair ship, alas! is seen no more:--
An island veils it from my loving gaze.
