A Song to a Singer
From Ionica (1905)
Relationships
Dura fida rubecula,
Cur moraris in arbore
Dum cadunt folia et brevi
Flavet luce November.
Quid boni tibi destinat
Hora crastina? quid petes
Antris ex hiemalibus?
Quid speras oriturum?
Est ut hospita te vocet
Myrtis, et reseret fores,
Ut te vere nitentibus
Emiretur ocellis.
Quod si contigerit tibi,
Ter beata vocaberis,
Invidenda volucribus,
Invidenda poetae.
