The Return - ZaunköniG - 06.06.2008
The Return
As, when to one who long hath watch'd, the morn,
Advancing slow, forewarns the approach of day
(What time the young and flowery-kirtled May
Decks the green hedge and dewy grass unshorn
With cowslips pale, and many a whitening thorn),
And now the sun comes forth with level ray,
Gilding the high wood top and mountain gray;
And, as the climbs, the meadows 'gins adorn;
The rivers glisten to the dancing beam,
The' awaken'd birds begin their amorous strain,
And hill and vale with joy and fragance teem.
Such is the sight of thee; thy wish'd return
To eyes, like mine, that long have waked to mourn,
That long have watch'd for light, and wept in vain.
