Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Evalena Evalena. Down by a brooklet, dashing ever clear, Where birds in spring are chanting far and near, Where swaying branches beckon to the waves Which dance and sparkle where the sun-fish laves, Where perfumed flowers nestle in the bank, And clover blossoms nodding soft and rank To the flag-stones which bridge the brooklet o´er, Laid down as stepping stones from shore to shore, In the calm morning or at noon or night, Or when the moon is shining clear and bright, Stepping with agile foot from stone to stone, Poor Evalena boldly walks alone. "Upon what mission?" do I hear you ask? "And why the oft repeated, weary task?" Weary, no doubt, for you or me, my friend; For her, the only joy ´til life shall end. Think ye she seeks the brook at midnight´s hour To catch the perfumed breeze from tree and flower, Or gaze upon her image mirrored there, Her image full of sorrow, marked with care? List! ask the woodland zephyrs what they know. They drop their voices to a whisper low, And sigh pathetically; then hold their breath At mention of the anguish, sin and death Which only zephyrs witnessed; and the crime Was doubly wrapped in mys´try for a time. And zephyrs chant a dirge so soft and low In mem´ry of the happy long ago, When Evalena ran with nimble feet, To chase the bees among the clover sweet.
