Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Syringa and Other Verses A Child´s Summer Evening In the thick grass the crowding daisies lie Stars fallen from heaven to a viridian sky, Black chimney-sweepers, speedwell burning blue, Milky-stalked dandelions of bravest hue. These stars will close, when others are begun Their petals drooping with the setting sun, Already are the heavy-headed flowers Counting the waning of the warmer hours. Into the foxglove bells our fingers twine Silkier than Solomon in garments fine: It were to sleep in Sybaritish bed In this green field-grass to lay down one´s head. The pungent smell of herbs within hot hands Is better far than scents from foreign lands - Strong wild green fennel, odorous of delight, Faint powdery-smelling daisies dainty white. Might we but stay, the whole long summer through, Sleeping beneath the moon, and drenched with dew We should see fairies, brushing rainbow wings, Diaphanous, tender, flitting, mothlike things.
