While I survey the long, and deep, and wide - ZaunköniG - 02.03.2008 While I survey the long, and deep, and wide Expanse of time, the Past with things that were Throng'd in dark multitude; the Future bare As the void sky when not a star beside The thin pale moon is seen; the race that died While yet the families of earth were rare, And human kind had but a little share Of the world's heritage, before me glide All dim and silent. Now with sterner mien Heroic shadows, names renown'd in song, Rush by. And, deck'd with garlands ever green, In light and music sweep the bards along; And many a fair, and many a well-known face, Into the future dive, and blend with empty space. |
