saddens still my heart as the soft æolic

winds that have wandered

over groves of myrtle at amathonte
waft forgotten passion on breaths of perfume.
long ago, how madly i loved thee, atthis!
faithless, light-hearted

loved one, mine no more, who lovest another
more than me; the silent flute and the faded
garlands haunt the heart of me thou forgettest,
long since thy lover.
