Davies, William: GOLDEN MOMENTS. - ZaunköniG - 28.10.2007
GOLDEN MOMENTS.
WHEN sweetest moods with fairest prospects meet,
And busy Fancy decks the world with flowers
Plucked in a land untinged by cares of ours,
Where souls, like childhood's angels, smile and greet ;
And blessed sunshine feeds, with tempered heat,
From open skies, new blossoms through the bowers
Touched by the spirit's glory ; whilst the Hours
Their airy dance with joyous footsteps beat ;
And all the good of life seems crowded in
A few short moments : take them unto thee ;
Drink deeply ; grasp them closely ; hide them where
Thy being flows ; for they may have to win
A little gleam through days of gloom, and be
The clearest stars that light long nights of care.
