Eros, again now, the loosener of limbs troubles me,Bittersweet, sly, uncontrollable creature….

frequentlyfor thoseI treat well are the ones who most of allharm me

You may forget, but let me tell you this: someone in some future time will think of us.

You are, I think, an evening star,the fairest of all the stars.

Age weighs heavily on me, and the kneesBuckle that long ago, like fawns, pranced nimbly.I groan much but to what end? Humans simplyCannot be ageless like divinities.They say that rosy-forearmed Dawn, when stungWith love, swept a sweet youth to the earth's rim -Tithonus. Even there age withered him,Bound still to a wife forever young.

My delight is the exquisite. Yes, for me,Glitter and sunlight and loveAre one society. So I shall not go creeping awayTo die in the dark:I shall go on living with you,Loving and loved.

Once again Love, that loosener of limbs,bittersweet and inescapable, crawling thing,seizes me.

Come to me now once again and release me from gruelling anxiety. All that my heart longs for, fulfil. And be yourself my ally in love's bayttle.

Come to me now once again and release me from gruelling anxiety. All that my heart longs for, fulfil. And be yourself my ally in love's battle.
