Steal out with me / Over the moss and the daffodils.

Come to the temple, / Hung with sprays from untrimmed hedges.

I bring you a token / From the golden-haired revellers, / From the mad procession.

Come, / Flute girls shall pipe to us-- / Their beautiful fingers!-- / They are yellow-throated birds. / They send perfumes from dawn-scented garments, / Bending above us.

Come, / Bind your hair with white poplar, / Let your lips be sweet, / Wild roses of Paestum.
