Come forth! for Spring is singing in the boughs - ZaunköniG - 23.07.2007 Come forth! for Spring is singing in the boughs Of every white and tremulous apple-tree. This is the season of eternal vows; Yet what are the vows that they should solace me? For on the winds wild loveliness is crying, And in all flowers wild joy its present worth Proclaims, as from the dying to the dying-- "Seize, clasp thy hour of sun upon the earth!" O never dream that fire or beauty stays More than one April moment in its flight Toward regions where the sea-drift of all days Sinks in a vast, desireless, lonely night. Away with eternal vows!--and give me breath Of one white hour here on the marge of death! |
