APHRODITE ENOIKIA
Lo, where your footfall pauses, Spring has come back to flower;
Poppy, hydrangea and odorous violet wake for a brief sweet hour.
Ever eternal, eternal, you come to the children of men,
To point them the path to the blossoming way of ecstasy again.
So came love to the land, out of the womanly sea;
So came love to the land, leading you to me.
Poppy, hydrangea and odorous violet wake for a brief sweet hour.
Ever eternal, eternal, you come to the children of men,
To point them the path to the blossoming way of ecstasy again.
So came love to the land, out of the womanly sea;
So came love to the land, leading you to me.
