Down comes rain drop, bubble follows;
  On the house-top one by one
    Flock the synagogue of swallows,
      Met to vote that autumn's gone.

        [Swallows]

Oh, raise your deep-fringed lids that close
  To wrap you in some sweet dream's thrall;
    I am the spectre of the rose
      You wore but last night at the ball.
      - Spectre of the Rose, from the French
        [Roses]

Eyes so transparent,
  That through them one sees the soul.
    [Lat., Ils sont si transparents qu'ils laissent voir votre ame.]
      - The Two Beautiful Eyes [Eyes]
