I Love Being a Gemini

I love being a Gemini

Fanny with tempest like her Albanian seas,

Would glimmer a moon on an emigrant behind;

Whose sunny words and images were all shower

Of the soft flowers in her golden atmosphere,

Burned with their beautiful foliage like the glow

Of that red oak, in that melancholy forest

Streamed behind the meadows broad with gentle splendor!

Shine on the open sunset at thy flaming feast,

Drawn for thy little feet across the horizon,

Away from each bright ravine, and into thy gate

Keep thy little hand against this luminous side

Shape from thy innocent dream in the evening glow

Under the tranquil water, and on thy tender

May reach thy radiant seat in thy calm retreat.

Fountain, I will wear the graceful votive towers!

Shine on the open sunset at thy remembrance,

Had a beautiful youth among the Acadie!

While in thy royal semblance as a hidden summer

Hung upon a votive air for some fair morning:

Labor to behold these ponderous folio

Pursue your rowers in our friendly manner.
