Gray, David: SWEET Mavis ! at this cool delicious hour - ZaunköniG - 28.10.2007 SWEET Mavis ! at this cool delicious hour Of gloaming, when a pensive quietness Hushes the odorous air, with what a power Of impulse unsubdued dost thou express Thyself a spirit ! While the silver dew Holy as manna on the meadow falls, Thy song's impassioned clarity, trembling through This omnipresent stillness, disenthrals The soul to adoration. First I heard A low thick lubric gurgle, soft as love, Yet sad as memory, through the silence poured Like starlight. But the mood intenser grows, Precipitate rapture quickens, move on move Lucidly linked together, till the close. |
