Frondeggia il bosco d'uberi verzure, Volgendo i rii zaffiro e margherita: Per gli archi verdi un'anima romita Cinge pallidi fuochi a ridde oscure. E in te ristretta con le mani pure Come le pure fonti della vita, Di sole e d'ombre mobili vestita Tu danzi, Egle, con languide misure. E a te candida e bionda tra li ninfe, D'ilari ambagi descrivendo il verde, Sotto i segreti ombracoli del verde, Ove la più inquïeta ombra s'attrista, Perle squillanti e liquido ametista Volge la gioia roca delle linfe.

Le bois est couvert de feuilles vertes et de fruits, Les ruisseaux se tournent en saphirs et marguerites, À travers les arches vertes une âme solitaire Entoure de pâles feux en de sombres rondes. Et retirée en toi avec les mains pures Comme les pures fontaines de la vie, Vêtue d'habits de soleil et de l'ombre, Tu danses, Églé, sur un rythme languide. Et vers toi, candide et blonde parmi les nymphes, La verdure décrivant de joyeux labyrinthes, Sous les ombrages secrets de la verdure, Où l'ombre la plus agitée s'attriste En perles qui tintent et en améthyste liquide Coule la joie rauque de la lymphe.
