Does pleasant spring return once more	A
Does earth her happy youth regain	B
Sweet suns green hills are shining o'er	C
Soft brooklets burst their icy chain	B
Upon the blue translucent river	C
Laughs down an all unclouded day	D
The winged west winds gently quiver	C
The buds are bursting from the spray	D
While birds are blithe on every tree	E
The Oread from the mountain shore	A
Sighs Lo thy flowers come back to thee	E
Thy child sad mother comes no more	A
	-
Alas how long an age it seems	F
Since all the earth I wandered over	C
And vainly Titan tasked thy beams	F
The loved the lost one to discover	C
Though all may seek yet none can call	G
Her tender presence back to me	E
The sun with eyes detecting all	G
Is blind one vanished form to see	E
Hast thou O Zeus hast thou away	D
From these sad arms my daughter torn	H
Has Pluto from the realms of day	D
Enamored to dark rivers borne	H
	-
Who to the dismal phantom strand	I
The herald of my grief will venture	C
The boat forever leaves the land	I
But only shadows there may enter	C
Veiled from each holier eye repose	J
The realms where midnight wraps the dead	K
And while the Stygian river flows	J
No living footstep there may tread	K
A thousand pathways wind the drear	C
Descent none upward lead to day	D
No witness to the mother's ear	C
The daughter's sorrows can betray	D
	-
Mothers of happy human clay	D
Can share at least their children's doom	L
And when the loved ones pass away	D
Can track can join them in the tomb	L
The race alone of heavenly birth	M
Are banished from the darksome portals	N
The Fates have mercy on the earth	M
And death is only kind to mortals	N
Oh plunge me in the night of nights	O
From heaven's ambrosial halls exiled	P
Oh let the goddess lose the rights	O
That shut the mother from the child	P
	-
Where sits the dark king's joyless bride	Q
Where midst the dead her home is made	R
Oh that my noiseless steps might glide	Q
Amidst the shades myself a shade	R
I see her eyes that search through tears	S
In vain the golden light to greet	T
That yearn for yonder distant spheres	U
That pine the mother's face to meet	T
Till some bright moment shall renew	V
The severed hearts' familiar ties	W
And softened pity steal in dew	V
From Pluto's slow relenting eyes	W
	-
Ah vain the wish the sorrows are	C
Calm in the changeless paths above	X
Rolls on the day god's golden car	C
Fast are the fixed decrees of Jove	X
Far from the ever gloomy plain	B
He turns his blissful looks away	D
Alas night never gives again	Y
What once it seizes as its prey	D
Till over Lethe's sullen swell	Z
Aurora's rosy hues shall glow	A2
And arching through the midmost hell	Z
Shine forth the lovely Iris bow	B2
	-
And is there naught of her no token	C2
No pledge from that beloved hand	I
To tell how love remains unbroken	C2
How far soever be the land	I
Has love no link no lightest thread	K
The mother to the child to bind	D2
Between the living and the dead	K
Can hope no holy compact find	D2
No every bond is not yet riven	C2
We are not yet divided wholly	E
To us the eternal powers have given	C2
A symbol language sweet and holy	E
	-
When Spring's fair children pass away	D
When in the north wind's icy air	C
The leaf and flower alike decay	D
And leave the rivelled branches bare	C
Then from Vertumnus' lavish horn	H
I take life's seeds to strew below	A2
And bid the gold that germs the corn	H
An offering to the Styx to go	A2
Sad in the earth the seeds I lay	D
Laid at thy heart my child to be	E
The mournful tokens which convey	D
My sorrow and my love to thee	E
	-
But when the hours in measured dance	E2
The happy smile of spring restore	C
Rife in the sun god's golden glance	E2
The buried dead revive once more	C
The germs that perished to thine eyes	W
Within the cold breast of the earth	M
Spring up to bloom in gentler skies	W
The brighter for the second birth	M
The stem its blossom rears above	X
Its roots in night's dark womb repose	J
The plant but by the equal love	X
Of light and darkness fostered grows	J
	-
If half with death the germs may sleep	F2
Yet half with life they share the beams	F
My heralds from the dreary deep	F2
Soft voices from the solemn streams	F
Like her so them awhile entombs	F
Stern Orcus in his dismal reign	B
Yet spring sends forth their tender blooms	F
With such sweet messages again	Y
To tell how far from light above	X
Where only mournful shadows meet	T
Memory is still alive to love	X
And still the faithful heart can beat	T
	-
Joy to ye children of the field	G2
Whose life each coming year renews	F
To your sweet cups the heaven shall yield	G2
The purest of its nectar dews	F
Steeped in the light's resplendent streams	F
The hues that streak the Iris bow	B2
Shall trim your blooms as with the beams	F
The looks of young Aurora know	A2
The budding life of happy spring	H2
The yellow autumn's faded leaf	X
Alike to gentle hearts shall bring	H2
The symbols of my joy and grief	X
