The snows have fled; meadows put on their blooms
and trees their leafy clothes.
The newborn earth resumes
her ancient changes; the river, sinking, flows
in its old repose.
The nymphs and sister Graces dare to dance
bare in the playful wind.
The hours flashing glance
warns not to hope for more than life will lend:
This too shall end.
