They brought me tidings; and I did not hear - ZaunköniG - 23.07.2007 They brought me tidings; and I did not hear More than a fragment of the words they said. Their further speech died dull upon my ear; For my rapt spirit otherwhere had fled-- Fled unto you in other times and places. Old memories winged about me in glad flight. I saw your lips of longing and delight,-- Your grave glad eyes beyond their chattering faces. I saw a world where you have been to me More than the sun, more than the wakening wind. I saw a brightness that they could not see. And yet I seemed as smitten deaf and blind. I heard but fragments of the words they said. Life wanes. The sunlight darkens. You are dead. |
