Explore "What shall we do, Cytherea?" by Bliss Carman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
What shall we do, Cytherea? / Lovely Adonis is dying. / Ah, but we mourn him!
Will he return when the Autumn / Purples the earth, and the sunlight / Sleeps in the vineyard?
Will he return when the Winter / Huddles the sheep, and Orion / Goes to his hunting?
Ah, but thy beauty, Adonis, / With the soft spring and the south wind, / Love and desire!
