Ah never any more when spring like fire
Will flicker in the newly opened leaves；
Shall I steal forth to seek for solitude
Beyond the lure of light Alcaeus' lyre；
Beyond the sob that stilled Erinna's voice。
Ah； never with a throat that aches with song；
Beneath the white uncaring sky of spring；
Shall I go forth to hide awhile from Love
The quiver and the crying of my heart。
Still I remember how I strove to flee
The love…note of the birds； and bowed my head
RIVERS TO THE SEA
To hurry faster； but upon the ground
I saw two wingè；d shadows side by side；
And all the world's spring passion stifled me。
Ah； Love there is no fleeing from thy might；
No lonely place where thou hast never trod；
No desert thou hast left uncarpeted
With flowers that spring beneath thy perfect feet。
In many guises didst thou come to me；
I saw thee by the maidens while they danced；
Phaon allured me with a look of thine；
In Anactoria I knew thy grace；
I looked at Cercolas and saw thine eyes；
But never wholly； soul and body mine；
Didst thou bid any love me as I loved。
Now have I found the peace that fled from me；
Close； close against my heart I hold my world。
Ah； Love that made my life a Iyric cry；
Ah； Love that tuned my lips to Iyres of thine；
I taught the world thy music； now alone
I sing for one who falls asleep to hear。
