Poem: Theocritus - A Villanelle

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Poem: Theocritus - A Villanelle

 

O singer of Persephone!

In the dim meadows desolate

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Dost thou remember Sicily?

 

Still through the ivy flits the bee

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Where Amaryllis lies in state;

上海龙凤shlf最新地址O Singer of Persephone!

 

Simaetha calls on Hecate

And hears the wild dogs at the gate;

Dost thou remember Sicily?

 

Still by the light and laughing sea

Poor Polypheme bemoans his fate;

上海龙凤shlf最新地址O Singer of Persephone!

 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址And still in boyish rivalry

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Young Daphnis challenges his mate;

Dost thou remember Sicily?

 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Slim Lacon keeps a goat for thee,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址For thee the jocund shepherds wait;

O Singer of Persephone!

Dost thou remember Sicily?
