FOR EMILY, WHENEVER I MAY FIND HER
Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel
What a dream I had, dressed in organdie
Clothed in crinoline, of smoky Burgundy
Softer than the rain
I wandered empty streets, down past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells, tripping down the alley ways
As I walked on
And when you ran to me your cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand
And when I awoke and felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears
Oh I love you, girl
Oh, I love you

PRO AEMILIA, UBICUMQUE FAM COGNOSCAM
(Latin translation)
Somnium mihi --
Palla crocea,
Sericat'eras,
Amiculum tibi,
N'algor'esses.
Erravi cassas vias
Foro nundinae.
Audivi sacello
Tinniantem tibiae,
Dum erravi.
Cum ad me cucurrist'et,
Velut sidera,
Fulsist'ant'oculos
Et lux discussit umbras.
Exsultavi....
Expergi, sed
Hoc manuisti sic.
Flevi ob gaudium.
Basiavi te.
Ha! Te amo!
Puella, te amo!
