Now the large lilies

Now the large lilies have dressed in white,

and dawn spreads her freshness on the quivering lawn.

It is spring! It is morning! A double time of youth!

My darling, as she awoke, said: "What beautiful sunshine!

The time has come when all charms are reborn.

Songs everywhere! Flowers everywhere! A double awakening!"

Since the warmth of the air was making her less coy,

I leant over her and I placed my lips

on her forehead and her hair - oh, double treasure!
