TO PHILIP BOURKE MARSTON, INCITING ME TO POETIC WORK - ZaunköniG - 10.06.2007 TO PHILIP BOURKE MARSTON, INCITING ME TO POETIC WORK SWEET Poet, thou of whom these years that roll Must one day yet the burdened birthright learn, And by the darkness of thine eyes discern How piercing was the sight within thy soul;— Gifted apart, thou goest to the great goal, A cloud-bound radiant spirit, strong to earn, Light-reft, that prize for which fond myriads yearn Vainly light-blest,—the Seër's aureole. And doth thine ear, divinely dowered to catch All spheral sounds in thy song blent so well, Still hearken for my voice's slumbering spell With wistful love? Ah! let the Muse now snatch My wreath for thy young brows, and bend to watch Thy veiled transfiguring sense's miracle. |
