Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Earthly Paradise, Vol. 2 of 4: A Poem The Earthly Paradise May O Love, this morn when the sweet nightingale Had so long finished all he had to say, That thou hadst slept, and sleep had told his tale; And midst a peaceful dream had stolen away In fragrant dawning of the first of May, Didst thou see aught? didst thou hear voices sing Ere to the risen sun the bells ´gan ring? For then methought the Lord of Love went by To take possession of his flowery throne, Ringed round with maids, and youths, and minstrelsy; A little while I sighed to find him gone, A little while the dawning was alone, And the light gathered; then I held my breath, And shuddered at the sight of Eld and Death. Alas! Love passed me in the twilight dun, His music hushed the Wakening ousel´s song; But on these twain shone out the golden sun, And o´er their heads the brown bird´s tune was strong, As shivering, twixt the trees they stole along; None noted aught their noiseless passing by, The world had quite forgotten it must die.
