Amy Levy - The Sick Man and the Nightingale
Work rating: Medium

(From Lenau.)


So late, and yet a nightingale?
Long since have dropp`d the blossoms pale,
The summer fields are ripening,
    And yet a sound of spring?

O tell me, didst thou come to hear,
Sweet Spring, that I should die this year;
And call`st across from the far shore
    To me one greeting more?
