EVENING. - ZaunköniG - 05.05.2009
EVENING.
It were as easy we should never sleep,
As pass in dreams half-conscious hours away,
Had Nature willed ; or that the unresting Day
Round tho great world at once his watch should keep :
But thus 'twas set in Paradise; some steep
Seemed there an altar, as the sinking ray
Flamed on its peak; and stars had quiet sway,
Till o'er the barriers mighty morn did leap.
Leap morn, and with thy might bear all things on,
Mounting the arch of noon the fiery-eyed ;
Where art thou now, from that mid-height descending 2
Oh still with songs and love thou art espied
Far off, while Eve comes here, with bell and gun,
And the big plashing waves her Moon attending.
