The Vigil of Venus and Other Poems by "Q"
amavit cras amet.

Be it harsh as the swannery's clamour that shatters the hush of the lake, Be it dulcet as where Philomela holds darkling the poplar awake, 85 So melting her soul into music, you'd vow 'twas her passion, her own, She plaineth—her sister forgot, with the Daulian crime long-agone. Hark! Hush! Draw around to the circle ... Ah, loitering Summer! Say when For me shall be broken the charm, that I chirp with the swallow again? I am old; I am dumb; I have waited to sing till Apollo withdrew— 90 So Amyclae a moment was mute, and for ever a wilderness grew. Now learn ye to love who loved never—now ye who have loved, love anew, To-morrow!—to-morrow!

To-morrow!—to-morrow!
