You poetry
like hour, like fairy,
in the forest of verses you invite me,
you charm me, with you
quickly I befriend,
toward the magic world you guide me.
You poetry,
as ancient as the world,
born in legendary forests,
epic, lyrical
beautifully sung,
by famous Aoede.
Mnemosyne
on Olympus shaped you,
Calliope, Euterpe, Erato,
with verses she equipped,
Apollo led the way,
the water of Castalia’s spring,
with beauty he adorned.
You poetry,
emerged from divine consciousness,
flow like water from the spring,
feelings you express purely.
You poetry,
sleep with dreams
you lull me,
with your magic spring,
my spirit you inflame.
