Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thought and Word and Ashby Manor: A Play in Two Acts On A Portrait. When a Poet knew himself, once on a time, And his joy of life overflow´d into rhyme, He had supple joints and curly dark hair; Folk see him now with a pate half bare, Some grizzled locks hanging lichen-wise Over wrinkled forehead and sunken eyes: But why not show him (guarding truth) As he used to be in his days of youth? Look and believe! he once was young; When he sung of Love, he felt what he sung; A Poet then, if a Poet now, Why with sad cheer and wither´d brow Greet the good Friend who may wish to learn How he look´d? - He looked thus, on the Banks of Erne, (Nay, younger still, and merrier far, - Already long set is the morning star) Erne water dancing from dawn to dark: Over the green hills caroll´d the lark, Seagull screech´d over ocean-strand, Plover wail´d on the brown moorland; Woman was loveliness; life was wide, Fill´d with wonders on every side; Heaven clear open as far as God, Maker and Guardian of sun and clod; Truth, unselfishness, merely were right Poets walk´d in celestial light. Gloom and fear and longing and pain - He forgets them now, - is almost fain (But no!) to wish himself young again.
