The Cowslip and the Lark - ZaunköniG - 30.03.2008 The Cowslip and the Lark My pretty lady Cowslip! prim and shy, Dredd'd in the vernal garb of Roman bride, I wish thee sometimes in a long road-side My solitary dream to purify. And thou, bold Lark! thou shivering voice on high! Invisible warbler of the blue expanse! Why wilt thou not, my merry bird, advance, And glad Winander with thy minstrelsy? The fancy sweet of Persia feign'd the love Of the voluptuous rose and nightingale. And Kent flows on. - the merry Lark above And the meek Cowslip bending in the vale; - What if there be mysterious love between The brave bird of the sky and flow'ret of the green! |
