Livingstone, Stuart: December - ZaunköniG - 24.06.2007 December The woods that summer loved are grey and bare; The sombre trees stretch up their arms on high, In mute appeal, against the leaden sky; A flurry faint of snow is in the air. All day the clouds have hung in heavy fold Above the valley, where grey shadows steal; And I, who sit and watch them, seem to feel A touch of sadness as the day grows old. But o'er my fancy comes a tender face, A dream of curls that float like sunlight golden-- A subtle fragrance, filling all the place, The whisper of a story that is olden-- Till breaks the sun through dull December skies, And all the world is springtime in the deep blue of her eyes. |
