Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems: A Song of Jeweled Hours, the Queen of the Islands, the Bride of Bar-Cocab, the Last Day in the Hospital A song of Jeweled Hours Muse, whom my incense bearing Youth adored, Oh gild the garish gloom of these grey years! For lo! a dimpled joy has fled the hours Which once tripped laughingly o´er fields of flowers, But now some blast of early Winter seres, Save on the heights my daring Fancy soared, Where old Parnassus glitters like a star With still its ancient spell alluring from afar. Ah, save in this the pulse of Youth is stilled, The leaf is yellow and the flower is dead: No more Life´s dreams lure on my trusting heart, (Spontaneous dreams without a touch of Art) The bubble shredded, each bright charm has fled, But strangely Poesy remains to build, O´er shattered hopes to disillusioned eyes, A greener lovelier Earth and bluer fairer skies. That Youth, impulsive, fled on buoyant wing With Future glancing eyes pursuing Joy, Now Age its vision ever backward cast Relives old pleasures, dotes upon the Past, The boy would be a man, the man a boy! So countless generations in the swing Of Time and Circumstance, fruition crave Along the self-same grooves from cradle unto grave.
