Summer for thee grant I may be
Language: English
Available translation(s): FRE GER
Summer for thee grant I may be
When summer days are flown!
Thy music still when whippoorwill
And oriole are done!
For thee to bloom, I'll skip the tomb
And [sow]1 my blossoms o'er!
Pray gather me, Anemone,
Thy flower forevermore!

Été pour toi, accorde‑moi de l'être
Language: French (Français)  after the English
Été pour toi, accorde-moi de l'être
Quand les jours de l'Été seront partis !
Ta musique aussi, quand l'Engoulevent
Et le Loriot -- se seront tus !
Pour fleurir pour toi, je bondirai de la tombe
Et mes pétales flotteront au-dessus !
Je t'en prie, cueille-moi --
Anémone --
Ta fleur -- pour toujours !
