Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems and Miscellany Far, where Night´s dreary empire, lies the peopled gulf beside, Sad Sorrow, on her gloomy wing, and giant Woe, abide, For Night no more is. Night beloved on every heavenly shore, Now o´er the West, her melancholy reign, shall brood no more. Say further sable muse; still in thy humble numbers tell, Where fared the wandering God and how the gloomy Goddess fell: How mourned for virtue, vanquished, all the spirits of the air, And fled the doomed destroyer, ne´er to tarry anywhere. Still sleeps Night´s empire by the void and silent sleep, Her battlements and solemn tower. Far o´er the airy deep. As lookouts on the sea descry the beacon through the storm, Her sentries mark the swift approach of a celestial form. Oft in their weary vigils him the watchers once descried, Wingless and all buoyant, his career in safety guide, And oft, the Night, least sleepful, while her hosts were slumbrous most, Had met him in a guilty tryst, far down her dreamy coast. He, being a winged messenger, by great Aurora sent, Saw many realms and various scenes, on many a mission bent. Long since he met in the abyss and loved the sable Night. Here steered his wandering course, here often rested in his flight, And here, to her dark ears he brought the gifts she dearest loved. But lying tales and worthless ore at last his offerings proved. Now had he been long absent, and on other amours roved, And Night, a lengthy round had from her tower troubled tried, Him to descry; but him nowhere her dusky eye descried, Till to her guards he wild appeared. Now, yellow haired, he came, But lost to her; and thence she saw him passing scornful flame, Soon eastward to the deep. Back to return no more again, She viewed him glide to a twilight on the remote champaign, And fade into the all-absorbing darkness and the plain. Sad Night, with her attendent shades, a journey takes. Lorn maid, Left by the wandering Sun, and by the scorning fiend betrayed, In grief, far seeking strays, him o´er the distant skies to find, And she, o´er distant skies to roam, her empire leaves behind.
