First Line: Once again, sweet willow, wave thee!
Last Line: Why stays my love?
Subject(s): Pindar (522-440 B.c.); Willow Trees


Once again, sweet Willow, wave thee!
Why stays my Love?
Bend, and in yon streamlet -- lave thee!
Why stays my Love?
Oft have I at evening straying,
Stood, thy branches long surveying,
Graceful in the light breeze, playing, --
Why stays my Love?
