"Hi dies, O Dea, hi dies" // Last Updated 08.Jun.2008

I'm learning how to write Latin verse. This is a poor example. I'm not sure if I conjugated pereo (die) correctly. And "Haec dies" is from some Gregorian chant... we listened to it in my Music Lit class.

UPDATE: I had a friend who knows far more about Latin grammar read over this and correct a few things. Still needs some work, but I'm happier with it now.

Dea meam reliquit.

Hi dies miseriae protendunt
Nihil--nihil dulce in aurem
Meam olim dixisti, sed non
Iam--non iam.
             Amavi te,
Dea mea, cor meum, et
Nunc est nihil sed hi--hi dies
Quod dies quisque eadem est ut
Dies posterior periisti.

"These days, O Goddess, these days"

Goddess left me.

These days of misery portend
Nothing--sweet nothings in my
ear she once whispered, but no
Longer.
              I loved you,
My Goddess, my heart, and
now there is nothing but these--these days,
For every day is the same as
The day after you died.
