<h2> LOVE AND THE MUSE </h2>
<p>My back is turned on Spring and all her flowers,<br/>
The birds no longer charm from tree to tree;<br/>
The cuckoo had his home in this green world<br/>
Ten days before his voice was heard by me.<br/>
<br/>
Had I an answer from a dear one's lips,<br/>
My love of life would soon regain its power;<br/>
And suckle my sweet dreams, that tug my heart,<br/>
And whimper to be nourished every hour.<br/>
<br/>
Give me that answer now, and then my Muse,<br/>
That for my sweet life's sake must never die,<br/>
Will rise like that great wave that leaps and hangs<br/>
The sea-weed on a vessel's mast-top high.<br/></p>
