Tyndaris

Reynaldo Hahn

Oh, white Tyndaris, the gods hold me dear:

They love the Latin Muses;

And dill and myrtle and thyme from the hills

Grow in the meadows they gave me.

Come; my cherished wood pigeons, luxuriating in sorrow,

Moan happily here;

And beneath thick foliage it is sweet to sleep

Beside fleeing water.
