But wails another song for his Adonis. Grieving for Cinyras' fair son, the Graces To one another say : " Adonis perished. " The Muses, too, forget their joyful paeans. And shrilly cry instead : "Alas, Adonis! " They chant him songs, but he may never hear them : It is not that he would be loath to listen. But that Persephone will not release him.
Cease, Cytherea, cease thy dismal dirges ; To-day no longer sing thy lamentations : Another year thou shalt again bewail him, 66 MELEAGER I O NIGHT ! O... ever-wakeful hopes and fears ! And, in the cold gray light of doubtful dawn. Eyes that do sting and burn with briny tears ! Is my fair love's affection from me gone ? Or doth she still in her remembrance hold. And with her kisses warm my picture cold ?
Do tears abide with her, and scare her rest ?
And doth she see me in a dream by night.
Clasping a vision vainly to her breast ?
Or hath she a new love, a new delight ?
Look not on this, O Lamp ! but keep good ward Of her I gave to thee to watch and guard.
