not love at all
Unless thine own heart cry-
Love cannot die.
-All the Year Round.

"SE LAMENTAR AUGELLI."

Translation from Petrarch.

Whenever plaintive warblings, or the note
Of leaves by Summer breezes gently stirred,
Or baffled murmur of bright waves I've heard
Along the green and flowery shore to float,
Where, meditating love, I sat and wrote,
Then her whom earth conceals, whom heaven conferred,
I hear and see and know with living word.
She answereth my sighs, though so remote.
"Ah! why art thou," she pityingly says,
"Pining away before thy hour! Why flows
Out of thine eyes so sorrowful a stream?
Weep not for me, since death has made my days
Day without end, and when I seemed to close
My eyes, they opened on the eternal beam."

-Sonnets and Stanzas of Petrarch, C.B. Cayley.
