DIANA YOU ARE DIANA

Diana you are Diana like the cold
moon under the clouds hiding
from absence or luminous Phoebe
in the days strewing your ease
but sovereign of no low place
huntress you are only in denial
of indiscreet wedding vulnerable
however to young sleeping heart
an Orion an Actaeon you disdain
for negligent court of homage
chaste will yourself only light of day
goddess of baths of dogs who
               treads on her dreams

DIANA YOU ARE DIANA

Diane tu es Diane comme la froide
lune sous les nuées se cachant
de l\'absence ou lumineuse Phœbé
par les jours répandant ton aisance
mais de nul lieu bas souveraine
chasseresse tu ne l\'es qu\'en refus
d\'indiscrètes noces vulnérable
toutefois au jeune cœur assoupi
un Orion un Actéon tu dédaignes
pour cour négligente des hommages
chaste ne te veux que lueur du jour
la déesse aux bains aux chiens qui
               sur ses rêves marche
Close

DIANA YOU ARE DIANA

Diana you are Diana like the cold

huntress you are only in denial
of indiscreet wedding vulnerable
however to young sleeping heart
an Orion an Actaeon you disdain
for negligent court of homage
chaste will yourself only light of day
goddess of baths of dogs who
               treads on her dreams

DIANA YOU ARE DIANA

Diana you are Diana like the cold
moon under the clouds hiding
from absence or luminous Phoebe
in the days strewing your ease
but sovereign of no low place
huntress you are only in denial
of indiscreet wedding vulnerable
however to young sleeping heart
an Orion an Actaeon you disdain
for negligent court of homage
chaste will yourself only light of day
goddess of baths of dogs who
               treads on her dreams
