While my attempt must necessarily be in English, I can emulate the style of an Horatian ode as closely as possible within those constraints. Here is an original poem inspired by Horace’s themes and structure:
Ode to Tranquil Respite
Sedulius, with a heart that soars,
To thee, O tranquil respite’s power,
With silver strings my verse unfolds.
In fields where time’s relentless flow
Is stilled, where gentle winds bestow
Their whispers soft upon the boughs,
Here I find solace from life’s toil.
Amor et virtus, twins of grace,
In this serene and quiet space,
Guide us both with tender hand:
For in thy embrace we find
A peace that time can never bind.
So let us rest our weary souls,
And drink the nectar of repose.
Nunc quid agis, O fickle fate?
Why do you weave such paths, so straight
That lead from joy to sorrow’s sea?
In this haven, calm and free,
We cast aside life’s tempests’ rage.
For here, as in a sacred grove,
We find the peace we cannot love.
Habet etiam tua domus lux,
In which our spirits freely muse,
On dreams that flit like birds of light
From dawn to dusk; and though each day
Brings shadows, they are not dismay.
For in this sanctuary, I know,
My spirit finds its truest show.
Thus let us sing, as did the old:
Of peace, of love, of nature’s hold.
In tranquil respite, true delight—
A haven from life’s restless flight.
So here, beneath the starry dome,
Let our hearts find what they yearn to know.
