The Forest - ZaunköniG - 18.06.2007 The Forest I love the forest; I could dwell among That silent people, till my thoughts upgrew In nobly ordered form, as to my view Rose the succession of that lofty throng. The mellow footstep on a ground of leaves Formed by the slow decay of numerous years, The couch of moss, whose growth alone appears Beneath the fir’s inhospitable eaves, The chirp and flutter of some single bird, The rustle in the brake, - what precious store Of joys have these on poets’ hearts conferred? And then at times to send one’s own voice out, In the full frolic of one startling shout, Only to feel the after-stillness more. |
