Vita Nuova
Alas, a veiled and silent Comer
Has dimmed the stars and hid the sun!
Gone is the glory of the summer,
And life is done.
Oh, life is done, for hope is banished,
What joy can be for you in store,
When the one face you loved has vanished
For evermore?
Nay, lonely mother, love is stronger
Than any tyranny of death;
Does faithful love survive no longer
Has dimmed the stars and hid the sun!
Gone is the glory of the summer,
And life is done.
Oh, life is done, for hope is banished,
What joy can be for you in store,
When the one face you loved has vanished
For evermore?
Nay, lonely mother, love is stronger
Than any tyranny of death;
Does faithful love survive no longer
