“ Somewhere away beneath thee, lies far down
⁠Midst lime and birch,
In orchards green, the tiny peaceful town,
And twittering birds that in the thickets perch,
And smoke, that driven by the wind is flying
⁠From roofs low-lying. ”

“ Snowy with foam, with lightning sparks ablaze.
From the black rocks ascend the syrens' lays.
They rest and view the moon with tearful eyes;
From hair and maiden-breasts the water flies,
With scales their hips are bright as rainbow-rays. ”

“ Naked and swooning, bears at frenzied pace.
In mist they pass. . . The din fades . . Earth's aglow.
