Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Widow´s Tale: And Other Poems Prefatory Sonnet. The lamp will shed a feeble glimmering light, Until the oil which fed its flame be spent; The small stars twinkle in the firmament, And the moon´s pallid orb arise on night, When day has waned; - the scath´d tree, in despite Of age look green, with ivy-wreaths besprent; And faded roses still retain their scent, When death shall make them loveless to the sight. So linger on, as seeming loth to die, Light, strength, and sweetness: - thus unto the last The poet o´er his lyre´s lov´d strings will cast A nerveless hand - and his fond labours ply; Not unrewarded if its parting sigh Seem like the lingering echo of the past!
