（单词翻译:单击）

No, no! Go from me. I have left her lately.
I will not spoil my sheath with lesser¹ brightness,
For my surrounding air hath a new lightness;
Slight are her arms, yet they have bound me straitly
And left me cloaked as with a gauze of æther;
As with sweet leaves; as with subtle clearness.
Oh, I have picked up magic in her nearness
To sheathe² me half in half the things that sheathe her.
No, no! Go from me. I have still the flavour,
Soft as spring wind that's come from birchen bowers³.
Green come the shoots, aye April in the branches,
As winter's wound with her sleight⁴ hand she staunches,
Hath of the trees a likeness⁵ of the savour:
As white as their bark, so white this lady's hours.
