TO DEATH - ZaunköniG - 24.06.2007 Methought in dreams I saw my little son-- My little son that in his cradle died; No more a babe, but all his childhood done, A full-grown man. Deep-browed and tender-eyed, I knew him by the subtle touch of me, And by his mother's look, and by the eyes We hold in such remembrance piteously, And the bright smile so quick for sweet replies. O Death, I would that from thy front of stone My grief could wring one word, or my tears draw On the strange night of life, one single gleam! Was he whom by the gift of sleep I saw The living shape of my belovèd gone, My very son, or but a fleeting dream. |
