Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Song of Life and Other Poems The Song of Life Joy surges high when life is at its spring, Wild as the rushing of some mountain stream, That bursting forth, o´erleaping every barrier, From dizzy precipice to threatening shoal Plunges unscathed in carefree merriment. Life seems a great adventure to the soul But newly come from dreamland, that forgets What it has been, all it has known before, And madly revelling, defying pain, For every pleasure grasps with greedy hand. Then when the years advance and hair is gray, After the bitter tragedies have come, If in the soul mirth lingers, and all day A merry song rings clear within the breast - The potent urge of universal Love Taps all life´s pent-up sources, till at last Out of youth´s heedless joy pure rapture springs, Swelling forever towards the Eternal Sea; An echo of that infinite Song of Life, Whose wellspring is celestial harmony.
