Percival, James Gates: The Poet - ZaunköniG - 11.06.2007 The Poet Deep sunk in thought, he sat beside the river, Its wave in liquid lapses glided by, Nor watched, in crystal depht, his vacant eye The willow’s high o’eraching foliage quiver. From dream to shadowy dream returning ever, He sat, like statue, on the grassy verge; His thoughts, a phantom train, in airy surge Streamed visionary onward, pausing never. As autumn wind, in mountain forest weaving Its wondrous tapestry of leaf and bower, O’ermastering the night’s resplendent flower With tints, like hues of heaven, the eye deceiving; So, lost in labyrinthe maze, he wove A wreath of flowers; the golden thread was love. |
