Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sunshine and Smoke: A Book of Verse Beyond the net-work of the thin black branches Hangs the white sun upon a pallid sky, And, like the ghostly smile we sometimes trace Fading half-formed upon a woman´s face, The bloodless glimmer of the beams it launches Seems to grow cold and die. Smoke-stained, impenetrable walls of vapour Shorten our vision with fantastic frown, Hiding the formal paths and stiff expanse Of turf too neatly tended, save where chance Has left a few dead leaves like scraps of paper, Crumpled and dry and brown. Poor imitation is this landscape yonder Of that which ought to soothe our eyes to-day; And yet some broken line, some varied tint, May stir our thoughts with a suggested hint, Open a door, and let our fancies wander To visions far away. A little make-believe will soon transfigure The fogs dark drapery to wreathes of mist In soft pure circles on a rounded hill, Where fern and sedge and tussock lie so still, Helpless beneath the mornings frozen rigour, But by the sunbeams kissed.
