Here at the deserted spring,
where wandered the untouched
shadow of a beauty
in the crystal depths,
For the water nymphs,
on the willow branch
I hang and dedicate
a wreath of wildflowers.
I implore the reeds
with their flutes mournfully
to sing the hushed
unspoken words,
And the spring in the hollow
of the rock, there at the edge,
to shed, as into a lekythos,
its musical tears.
(Lambros Porphyras)
