To Spring

字號:

O Thou with dewy locks, who lookest down
     Thro' the clear windows of the morning, turn
     Thine angel eyes upon our western isle,
     Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring!
     The hills tell each other, and the list'ning
     Valleys hear; all our longing eyes are turnèd
     Up to thy bright pavilions: issue forth,
     And let thy holy feet visit our clime.
     Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds
     Kiss thy perfumèd garments; let us taste
     Thy morn and evening breath; scatter thy pearls
     Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.
     O deck her forth with thy fair fingers; pour
     Thy soft kisses on her bosom; and put
     Thy golden crown upon her languish'd head,
     Whose modest tresses were bound up for thee.
