Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Vision From the Wild A Vision From the Wild Prelude No man may pen the beauties of a sunset on the plains, Nor artist paint its splendor, all efforts are in vain; It sinks to rest, beyond the hills, a burnished ball of gold, Leaving a beauteous trail of glory, twilight o´er the wold. The sun-gleamed clouds´ reflected glow mellows the distant lea, Behold a strange transfiguration, a green and waving sea, Ten thousand gold-tipped arrows, flung from the setting sun, Dance and quiver in gorgeous glory, on the western horizon. The fleecy clouds´ are mustered near the day god´s failing light, And the stars in timid grandeur steal out from silent night, Now the penciled rays of glory are furled slowly in the west, Black night reigns victorious, the sun hath sunk to rest. Camp. Alone in the western wilderness I cast my lonesome camp, Near a mountain´s base, where snow-brewed waters joyous sing, As they leap and sparkle, cold from their distant source; Soft breezes fan my cheek, fragrant freighted, strangely sweet, From the wild flowers´ bloom, singing through the pine boughs, Sighing in the chaparral, whistling down the canyon´s gloom, Then plainwise pass, in boisterous ecstasy; great mountains In gloomy grandeur rise, like giant sentinels placed to guard The flight of day; the moon full-faced hung low in the west, Casting her mellow light o´er the slow, tired, retiring world, The glowing horizon sheds its rosy hue, settles dim and grey.
