Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ad Matrem, and Other Poems Ad Matrem O Christ, you left not even Cynthia. The stars are empty now, Their gods and goddesses are gone. In leafy glade, on shadowy hillside are No longer nymphs at play, Thy sorrow-saddened brow, The tree you died upon, Frightened those happy ones away. Bacchus´ exulting crew, Scorned, fell back from you; White Aphrodite withered to wan foam. What hast thou brought instead? All men could pour the lustral, pleading wine And bear a gift to Hercules´ great shrine; Or love, forget and rove In Cybele´s dim grove. All maids could follow where Adonis led, In verdant meadows plumed with iris roam, And laugh and dance and sing Prinked out with buds of Spring. Calm priests could slay a lowing hecatomb; Youths look with wistful eye, That longed and might espy A sweet form glide into her fountain home; Or hear the quick-drawn breathing of a race And turn to meet the glory of Apollo´s race.
