O FORTUNATE FIELDS THROUGH WHICH MADONNA GOES, by                     Poet's Biography
Last Line: That is not kindled with my passionate pains
Alternate Author Name(s): Petrarca, Francesco
Subject(s): Beauty


O fortunate fields through which Madonna goes,
And you, O happy, happy flowers and sweet,
O upland who her gentle accent knows
And bears the dainty imprint of her feet,
O saplings lithe and early, verdant sprays,
O love-lorn violets pale, O forest dim
Which beauty's sun hath pierced with his rays
And drawn in proud florescence unto him;
O limpid stream that laves her lovely face,
Her luminous eyes, and doth their radiance share,
O primrose path, I envy you the grace
Of tender, loyal servitude you bear!
That is not kindled with my passionate pains.
