Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of John Greenleaf Whittier, Vol. 1 of 4: Narrative and Legendary Poems Proem I Love the old melodies lays Which softly melt the ages through, The songs of Spenser´s golden days, Arcadian Sidney´s silvery phrase. Sprinkling our noon of time with freshest morning dew. Yet, vainly in my quiet hours To breathe their marvellous notes I try; I feel them, as the leaves and flowers In silence feel the dewy showers, And drink with glad, still lips the blessing of the sky. The rigor of a frozen clime, The harshness of an untaught ear, The jarring words of one whose rhyme Beat often Labors hurried time, Or Duty´s rugged march through storm and strife, are here. Of mystic beauty, dreamy grace, No rounded art the lack supplies; Unskilled the subtle lines to trace, Or softer shades of Nature´s face, I view her common forms with unanointed eyes.
