The Awaking of the Poetic Faculty - ZaunköniG - 08.07.2007 The Awaking of the Poetic Faculty All day I heard a humming in my ears, A buzz of many voices, and a throng Of swarming numbers, passing with a song Measured and stately as the rolling spheres’. I saw the sudden light of lifted spears, Slanted at once against some monster wrong; And then a fluttering scarf which might belong To some sweet maiden in her morn of years. I felt the chilling damp of sunless glades, Horrid with gloom; anon, the breath of May Was blown around me, and the lulling play Of dripping fountains. Yet the lights and shades, The waving scarfs, the battle’s grand parades Seemed but vague shadows of that wondrous lay. |
