Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Through Wayside Gardens: A Collection of Verses Martyrs´ of Parnassus "Most wretched men Are cradeled into poetry by wrong They learn in suffering what they teach in song." - Shelley In my dreams I am a poet Whose flaming song is flung To the four winds that echo it, - Yet, poets die so young; In each wild song that floweth The soul of him is wrung. But why must poets pass away Into some misty clime And leave behind their deathless lay To haunt us with its rhyme, That men may sing some other day, In some far-distant time? Is it because such genuis bright Must roam a star-lit way Because the spirit in its flight So far outruns the clay, Or is he lured by heaven´s light With seraphim to stray? Or is our world of sordid things So selfish in its toll That Muse must rise on spreading wings To seek some fairer goal - Must rise upon the song he sings That elevates his soul?
