An August Noon - ZaunköniG - 18.06.2007 An August Noon High summer Noon! Yon crow of all his kind Stands indefatigably impudent-- A vigilant scout upon a battlement Of his vast fortress. Underneath him wind The water-courses--open, unconfined To his down-peering eye. Improvident The bare fields lie in swart abandonment; The hills their tresses thoughtlessly unbind Of fluent silver, carelessly displayed; And all the pastures in their morn attire Of flowery robes most gorgeously arrayed Shrink now too late beore the noonday's fire. Thus unthrift Earth her dainty bosom bares, And on her nakedness heaven's bold eye stares. |
