APOLLO

WHICH of the fairest three

To-day will ride with me?

My steeds are all pawing at the threshold of the morn:

Which of the fairest three

To-day will ride with me

Across the gold Autumn’s whole Kingdom of corn?

THE GRACES all answer

I will, I – I – I

young Apollo let me fly

Along with thee,

I will- I, I, I,

The many wonders see

I – I – I – I

And thy lyre shall never have a slackened string:

I, I, I, I,

Thro’ the golden day will sing.
