Surge iam linquens
Language: Latin
Surge iam linquens thalamum tepentem, veni, quid haeres, lux mea? nix fuit, fugit, gelido recessit hiems iniqua frigore. terra dat flores, levis herva crescit, aves suaves dant sonos; ingemit turtur, qui ager? virescit fructusque promittit bonos. grossulos ficus dedit, aputatae halant odorem vineae: surge iam iam, cara, veni, para te ad culta terrae floreae. quae colis petras et amas cavernas, columba, provola, mea, nam moves cultu facieque vernas placesque voce mellea.
