XV. ADOLESCENTULÆ AMAVERUNT TE NIMIS.
‘Behold! the wintry rains are past;
The airs of midnight hurt no more:
The young maids love thee. Come at last!
Thou lingerest at the garden-door.
The airs of midnight hurt no more:
The young maids love thee. Come at last!
Thou lingerest at the garden-door.
`Blow over all the garden; blow,
Thou wind that breathest of the south
Through all the alleys winding low
With dewy wing and honeyed mouth!
Thou wind that breathest of the south
Through all the alleys winding low
With dewy wing and honeyed mouth!
‘But wheresoe'er thou wanderest, shape
Thy music ever to one Name:
Thou too, clear stream, to cave and cape
Be sure thou whisper of the same.
Thy music ever to one Name:
Thou too, clear stream, to cave and cape
Be sure thou whisper of the same.
‘By every isle and bower of musk
Thy crystal clasps as on it curls
We charge thee, breathe it to the dusk;
We charge thee, grave it in thy pearls.’
Thy crystal clasps as on it curls
We charge thee, breathe it to the dusk;
We charge thee, grave it in thy pearls.’
The stream obeyed. That Name he bore
Far out above the moon-lit tide:
The breeze obeyed. He breathed it o'er
The unforgetting Pine; and died.
Far out above the moon-lit tide:
The breeze obeyed. He breathed it o'er
The unforgetting Pine; and died.
