wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds (

sorrow, and she sat silent in the oak-tree, and thought about the
mystery of Love.
Suddenly she spread her brown wings for flight, and soared into
the air. She passed through the grove like a shadow and like a
shadow she sailed across the garden.
In the center of the grass- plot was standing a beautiful Rose-
tree, and when she saw it she flew over to it, and lit upon a spray.

So the Nightingale flew over to the Rose-tree that was growing
round the old sun-dial.

the Moon in her chariot of pearl. Sweet is the scent of the hawthorn,
and sweet are the bluebells that hide in the valley, and the heather
that blows on the hill. Yet love is better than Life, and what is the
heart of a bird compared to the heart of a man?
So she spread her brown wings for flight, and soared into the
air. She swept over the garden like a shadow, and like a shadow she
sailed through the grove.
The young Student was still lying on the grass, where she had
left him, and the tears were not yet dry in his beautiful eyes.

Flame- coloured are his wings, and coloured like flame is his body.
His lips are sweet as homey, and his breath is like frankincense.
The Student looked up from the grass, and listened, but he
could not understand what the Nightingale was saying to him, for he
only knew the things that are written down in books.
But the Oak-tree understood, and felt sad, for he was very fond
of the little Nightingale, who had built her nest in his branches.

So the Nightingale sang to the Oak-tree, and her voice was like
water bubbling from a silver jar.
When she had finished her song, the Student got up, and pulled
a note-book and a lead-pencil out of his pocket.

am afraid not. In fact, she is like most artists; she is all style without
any sincerity. She would not sacrifice herself for others. She thinks
merely of music, and everybody knows that the arts are selfish. Still,

And when the moon shone in the heavens the Nightingale flew
to the Rose-tree, and set her breast against the thorn. All night long
she sang, with her breast against the thorn, and the cold crystal
Moon leaned down and listened. All night long she sang, and the
thorn went deeper and deeper into her breast, and her life-blood
ebbed away from her.
She sang first of the birth of love in the heart of a boy and a girl.
And on the topmost spray of the Rose-tree there blossomed a
marvelous rose, petal following petal, as song followed song. Pale
was it, at first, as the mist that hangs over the river
—
pale as the feet
of the morning, and silver as the wings of the dawn. As the shadow
of a rose in a mirror of silver, as the shadow of a rose in a water-pool,
so was the rose that blossomed on the topmost spray of the Tree.
But the Tree cried to the Nightingale to press closer against the
thorn.

So the Nightingale pressed closer against the thorn, and louder
and louder grew her song, for she sang of the birth of passion in the
soul of a man and a maid.

So the Nightingale pressed closer against the thorn, and the
thorn touched her heart, and a fierce pang of pain shot through her.
Bitter, bitter was the pain, and wilder and wilder grew her song, for
she sang of the Love that is perfected by Death, of the Love that dies
not in the tomb.
And the marvelous rose became crimson (
猩红
), like the rose of
the eastern sky. Crimson was the girdle of petals, and crimson as a
ruby (

began to beat, and a film came over her eyes. Fainter and fainter
grew her song, and she felt something choking her in her throat.
Then she gave one last burst of music. The white Moon heard it,
and she forgot the dawn, and lingered on in the sky. The red rose
heard it, and it trembled all over with ecstasy, and opened its petals
