God that made all that goes or stays
And formed this love from afar
Grant me the power to hope one day
I'll see this love of mine afar,
Truly, and in a
pleasant
hour,
So that her chamber and her bower,
Might seem a palace to my eyes.

Troubador Verse |
|
[37] Never so woeful was the lament of the Siren6 upon the beach, never so woeful the song of that Nightingale7 among the rocks, or the dirge of that Swallow amid the long hills, neither the wail of Ceÿx for the woes of that Halcyon, nor yet the Ceryl’s song among the blue waves, nay, not so woeful the
hovering
bird of Memnon8 over the tomb of the Son of the Morning in the dells of the Morning, as when they mourned for Bion dead.

featuring
Dostoevsky's Sonja, Elis and Helian.
