Sky, air and winds

Noël Lee

Sky, air and winds, naked hills and plains,

vine-covered mounds and green forests,

twisting banks and flowing springs,

fallen thickets, green woods,

mossy caves half-concealed,

fields, buds, flowers, warming grasses,

viney slopes and pale beaches,

and you, rocks, schooled by my verses,

because when parting, full of care and anger,

I could not say adieu to this fair eye

which stirs me whether near or far,

I beg you, sky, air, winds, mountains and plains,

thickets, forests, banks and springs,

caves, fields, flowers, tell her for me.
