Across the shaken bastions of the year - ZaunköniG - 23.07.2007 Across the shaken bastions of the year March drives his windy chariot-wheels of cold. Somewhere, they tell me, Spring is waiting near. . . . But all my heart is with things grey and old:-- Reliques of other Aprils, that are blown Recklessly up and down the barren earth; Mine the dull grasses by the Winter mown, And the chill echoes of forgotten mirth. Spring comes, but not for me. I know the sign And feel it alien. I am of an age That passes. All the blossoms that were mine Lie trampled now beneath December's rage. Ye children of the Spring,--may life be sweet! For me, the world crumbles beneath my feet. |
