ARGYRIA

O you,O you most fair,Swayer of reeds, whispererAmong the flowering rushes,You have hidden your handsBeneath the poplar leaves,You have given them to the white waters.Swallow-fleet,Sea-child cold from waves,Slight reed that sang so blithely in the wind,White cloud the white sun kissed into the air;Pan mourns for you.White limbs, white song,Pan mourns for you.Richard Aldington

O you,

O you most fair,

Swayer of reeds, whisperer

Among the flowering rushes,

You have hidden your hands

Beneath the poplar leaves,

You have given them to the white waters.

Swallow-fleet,Sea-child cold from waves,Slight reed that sang so blithely in the wind,White cloud the white sun kissed into the air;Pan mourns for you.

Swallow-fleet,

Sea-child cold from waves,

Slight reed that sang so blithely in the wind,

White cloud the white sun kissed into the air;

Pan mourns for you.

White limbs, white song,Pan mourns for you.

White limbs, white song,

Pan mourns for you.
