Love
In the sunny summer morning
Translated by George MacDonald (Rampolli, 1897) · From Rampolli (1897)
Love
In the sunny summer morning
Into the garden I come;
The flowers are whispering and talking,
But for me, I wander dumb.
The flowers are whispering and talking;
They pity my look so wan:
“Thou must not be cross with our sister,
Thou sorrowful, pale-faced man!”
