All the songs of the east speak of the love of the nightingale（夜鶯） for the rose in the silent starlight night. The winged songster（歌手，詩人） serenades（小夜曲） the fragrantthem. He who sung of Troy became earth, and from that earth I have sprung. I, a rose from the grave of Homer, am too lofty to bloom for a nightingale.” Then the nightingale sung himself to death. A camel-driver came by, with his loaded camels and his black slaves; his little son found the dead bird, and buried the lovely songster in the grave of the great Homer, while the rose trembled in the wind.

The evening came, and the rose wrapped her leaves more closely round her, and dreamed: and this was her dream.

It was a fair sunshiny day; a crowd of strangers drew near who had undertaken（從事，開始進(jìn)行） a pilgrimage（漫游，朝圣之行） to the grave of Homer. Among the strangers was a minstrel（歌手，藝人） from the north, the home of the clouds and the brilliant lights of the aurora（極光，曙光） borealis. He plucked（摘，拔） the rose and placed it in a book, and carried it away into a distant part of the world, his fatherland. The rose faded with grief, and lay between the leaves of the book, which he opened in his own home, saying, “Here is a rose from the grave of Homer.”

Then the flower awoke from her dream, and trembled in the wind. A drop of dew（露水） fell from the leaves upon the singer's grave. The sun rose, and the flower bloomed more beautiful than ever. The day was hot, and she was still in her own warm Asia. Then footsteps approached, strangers, such as the rose had seen in her dream, came by, and among them was a poet from the north; he plucked the rose, pressed a kiss upon her fresh mouth, and carried her away to the home of the clouds and the northern lights. Like a mummy, the flower now rests in his 'Iliad,' and, as in her dream, she hears him say, as he opens the book, 'Here is a rose from the grave of Homer.'
