To M. W., on her Birthday - ZaunköniG - 25.06.2007 To M. W., on her Birthday Maiden! when such a soul as thine is born, The morning stars their ancient music make, And, joyful, once again their song awake, Long silent now with melancholy scorn; And thou, not mindless of so blest a morn, By no least deed its harmony shalt break, But shalt to that high chime thy footsteps take, Through life’s most darksome passes unforlorn: Therefore from thy pure faith thou shalt not fall, Therefore shalt thou be ever fair and free, And in thine every motion musical As summer-air, majestic as the sea, A mystery to those who creep and crawl Through Time, and part it from Eternity! |
