Spring Festival<br />

This is the spring-tide's mournful feast,<br />

The frantic troops of blooming girls<br />

Are rushing hither with flying curls.<br />

Moaning they smite their bare white breast,<br />

Adonis! Adonis!<br />

The night has come. By the torches' gleams<br />

They search the forest on every side.<br />

That echoes with anguish far and wide.<br />

With tears, mad laughter, and sobs and screams,<br />

Adonis! Adonis!<br />

The mortal youth so strangely fair.<br />

Lies on the cold turf pale and dead;<br />

His heart's blood staineth the flowers red.<br />

And a wild lament fulfills the air,<br />

Adonis! Adonis!<br />
