Love
Clarissa, 8
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From New Poems: Clarissa
Love
With Wedding Gifts the Spring Has Arrived,
With music and exultation;
It brings the bridegroom and the bride
Its hearty congratulation.
It brings its violets, rosebuds fair,
And jasmine and herbs sweet-scented,
And for the bride asparagus too,--
The bridegroom’s with salad contented.
