Marquis, Thomas G.: Robert Browning - ZaunköniG - 17.06.2007 Robert Browning The strongest singer of these latter days Has left the turmoil of earth's busy throng, But his rich voice is with us, and his song Gladdens our hearts, and on our darkest ways Throws gleam of living light. His steady praise Of truth and right; his lesson firm and strong-- Our lives are not our own, that they belong To God--is here to comfort and to raise. Then, while we weep for him, our laurelled king, Our hearts can truly say he is not dead; Nay, more! He sleeps not, but with undimmed mind Still works among us, still abides to bring Balm to the bleeding hearts whence hope has fled, Strength to the weak, light to the groping blind. |
