I wept, now I sing, that the celestial light | |||
no longer hides the living sun from my eyes, | |||
where chaste clear Love reveals | |||
his sweet strength and his sacred custom: | |||
from them he drew such floods of tears, | |||
in shortening the thread of my life, | |||
not only bridges, fords, oars, sails, | |||
failed to rescue me, but feathered wings. | |||
My tears were so deep and wide, | |||
and the shore was so far away, | |||
I could not reach it, even in fancy. | |||
Now Pity brings me not the palm, or laurel, | |||
but the peaceful olive and clear weather, | |||
dries my tears, and wishes me still to live. | |||
