Epithalamium

by Arthur Cooper
Waterbirds on
River islands!
Shy the nymph our
Shepherd's chosen.

Waterlilies
Wreathe around her,
Shy the nymph he
Waking, sleeping,
Never reaches;
Waking, sleeping,
Longing, longing,
Turning, tossing.

Waterlilies
To adorn her,
Shy the nymph we
Greet with zither,

Waterlilies
To array her,
To the shy nymph
Bell, drum bring glee!
