A Winter Night - ZaunköniG - 25.06.2007 A Winter Night How calm, how solemn, how sublime the scene! The moon in full-orbed glory sails above, And stars in myriads around her move, Each looking down with watchful eye serene On earth, which, in a snow shroud arrayed, And still, as if in death’s embrance ´t were laid, Saddens the spirit with its corpse-like mien; Yet doth it charm the eye, - its gaze still hold; Just as the face of one we loved, when cold And pale and lovely e’en in death #t is seen, Will fix the mourner’s eye, though trembling fears Fill all his heart, and thickly fall his tears. O, I could watch, till morn should change the sight, This cold, this beautiful, this mournful winter night! |
