Maclean, Kate Seymour: Forgotten Songs - ZaunköniG - 17.06.2007 Forgotten Songs There is a splendid tropic flower which flings Its fiery disc wide open to the core-- One pulse of subtlest fragrance--once a life That rounds a century of blossoming things And dies, a flower's apotheosis: nevermore To send up in the sunshine, in sweet strife With all the winds, a fountain of life flame, A winged censer in the starlight swung Once only, flinging all its wealth abroad To the wide deserts without shore or name And dying, like a lovely song, once sung By some dead poet, music's wandering ghost, Æons ago blown out of life and lost, Remembered only in the heart of God. |
