THE NEW DAY. XI. LOVE'S MONOTONE. - ZaunköniG - 23.07.2007 THE NEW DAY. XI. LOVE'S MONOTONE. THou art so used, Love, to thine own bird's song, Sung to thine ear in love's low monotone, Sung to thee only, Love, to thee alone Of all the listening world,- that I among My doubts find this the leader of the throng: Haply the music hath accustomed grown And no more music is to thee; my own Too faithful argument works its own wrong. I have no art of silence, Love; I sing Because my soul is joyful in thy light, And I cannot refuse thee any thing. But should thy bird at last fall silent quite, Wouldst thou then be a little sorrowing? Think not of me but of thyself to-night. |
