Twilight - ZaunköniG - 27.05.2007 Twilight The rude and garish light, that all day long With half-oppressive gladness walked the earth, The bud to beauty forcing till it droops Athirst. o’er-fraught with life; the bird of song, Made weary with its own exulting mirth: Now, softly o’er the vale and hill-side stoops To gather back its beams; well-pleased to spread A downy mantle o’er the exhausted land. Sweet dew-distilling hour! though joy be fled We mourn it not, thy balmings are so bland. Thus fadeth life to her by whom I kneel, Watching the pulse aweary of their play. Thus twilight fancies o’er her senses steal And life’s unquiet visions fade away. |
