Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From the Poems of Michael Drayton To Dorothea. Dear little maid with laughing eyes, Wistful, wilful, winsome, wise, Fain would I lightly poetise In stanzas cheery; But days are short and nights are long, And shrill winds pipe a restless song, Complaining of the wide world´s wrong In accents dreary. Ah! welladay! the mist and rain Drive rudely over hill and plain; December hurries up amain With drum and tabor; And blown to left and blown to right, Scared birds that cannot keep their flight Drop, baffled and outwearied quite By battling labour. We cannot speed the blust´ring hours, Or quell the angry Winter´s powers, Or bring the sunshine and the flowers We love so dearly; But we can sing and we can play, And we can make the dullest day As merry as the lark in May That carolls clearly.
