Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother,

That he might not beteem the winds of heaven

Visit her face too roughly.

You are my true and honourable wife,

As dear to me as are the ruddy drops

That visit my sad heart.

Oh could I fly, I 'd fly with thee!

We 'd make with joyful wing

Our annual visit o'er the globe,

Companions of the spring.
