Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in Verse The Prodigal. O Mother, wait until my work is done! Loose thy strong arms that draw me to thy breast Till I am ready to lie down and rest; Grudge not to me the kisses of the sun. Fear not, fond earth, thy strong love holds me fast; Thou art mine heir, - I shall be thine at last. O cousin roses! thirst not for my blood To dye your paling cheeks. O rank, wild grass! Clutch not with greedy fingers as I pass. And you, great hungry giants of the wood! Let not your roots for my rich juices yearn. Mine shall be yours, but you must wait your turn. O roses, grasses, trees! I am your kin, - Your prodigal blood-cousin, now grown strange With many wanderings through the lands of Change. You lent me of your substance, and I´ve been A wasteful steward; yet I shall bring back My whole inheritance, - you shall not lack. Divide my all amongst you; ´twas but lent To me a while to use. Part heart and brain, Matter and force, until there shall remain Of me no shadow; I am well content. Order and chaos wage eternal strife; The end of living is to bring forth life.
