I went to look for Love among the roses, the roses, / The pretty wingèd boy with the arrow and the bow; / In the fair and fragrant places, / 'Mid the Muses and the Graces, / At the feet of Aphrodite, with the roses all aglow.
Then I sought among the shrines where the rosy flames were leaping- / The rose and golden flames, never ceasing, never still- / For the boy so fair and slender, / The imperious, the tender, / With the whole world moving slowly to the music of his will.
