The Lilly of the valley breathing in the humble grass
Answerd the lovely maid and said: I am a watry weed,
And I am very small and love to dwell in lowly vales:
So weak the gilded
butterfly
scarce perches on my head
Yet I am visited from heaven and he that smiles on all
Walks in the valley, and each morn over me spreads his hand
Saying, rejoice thou humble grass, thou new-born lily flower.

Ah, but I had given over to despair
The mind in me, I ground the stubborn tribes,
I quarried them like rocks and broke them small
And ground them down to
flinders
and to sands;
But never gleamed the jewel-stone therein,
Naught but the common flint of earth I found.

When lo, swift hands, on strings nigh over-head,
Began to melodize a waltz by Strauss:
It stirred me as I stood, in Caesar's house,
Raised the old routs
Imperial
lyres had led,
And blended pulsing life with lives long done,
Till Time seemed fiction, Past and Present one.

Denied the gods his pledged reward,

Quando mi vidi giunto in quella parte
di mia etade ove ciascun dovrebbe
calar le vele e
raccoglier
le sarte,
cio che pria mi piacea, allor m'increbbe,
e pentuto e confesso mi rendei;
ahi miser lasso!
