What Beatrice was, so much you are - ZaunköniG - 23.07.2007 What Beatrice was, so much you are To me now wandering with an exile's eyes In regions whence no road to paradise Mounts, and the solace glimmers of no star. There stretch between us gulfs of many a war; The ancient hills to sunder us arise. And yet I crave, from Fate that all denies, You near in dream, who are in truth so far. . . . "Though all the powers that thwart your life and mine Thereto consent, yet can I never be Your Beatrice. I can never shine Pale, starry in your heaven: nay, unto me One lot alone my stormy Fates assign-- To leave you,--or to clasp you utterly!" |
