Ancient Fables - ZaunköniG - 01.07.2007 Ancient Fables Ye pleasant myths of eld, why have ye fled? The earth has fallen from her blissful prime Of summer years; the dews of that sweet time Are withered on its garlands sear and dead. No longer in the blue fields overhead We list the rustling of immortal wings, Or hail at eve the kindly visitings Of gentle Genii to fair fortunes wed: The seas have lost their Nereids, the sad streams Their gold-haired habitants, the mountains lone Those happy Oreads, and the blithesome tone Of Pan’s soft pipe melts only in our dreams: Fitfully fall the old Faith’s broken gleams On our dull hearts cold as sepulchral stone. |
