Strange! to remember that I late was fain - ZaunköniG - 23.07.2007 Strange! to remember that I late was fain To yield death back my poor undated lease, So wearied had I at life's gate in vain Asked wonders, and been doled not even peace. I had grown sceptic of the exalted will That wins not ever nearer to its aim. Grey seemed all lures, all calling voices still; Rest only seemed salvation . . . Then you came And filled my dusk with stars. I understood At last what coward languor had been mine. And as your sweetness stung my brain and blood Like the wild rapture of some wingèd wine I stormed the gates that crusts to beggars give! Life decks its halls for him who dares to live. . . . |
