ON A PICTURE OF ARMIDA AND RINALDO, WITH THE DECOY-NYMPH. - ZaunköniG - 27.12.2010 ON A PICTURE OF ARMIDA AND RINALDO, WITH THE DECOY-NYMPH. Dear is that picture for my childhood's sake, — The man asleep, so near to love or harm ; The winged boy, that stays Armida's arm, The siren-girl, all hush'd, lest he awake ; While, in the background of that pictured tale. Sown with enchanted herbs, and clad with gloom, A sombre eminence o'erlooks the vale, A purple hill, where all my dreams found room : 'Tis strange, with how few touches of a brush. That painter's hand supplied, in life's fresh dawn. The mystic thoughts I loved ! Sweet thoughts ! deepdrawn. Far-destined ; cherish'd still without a blush ; Deep-drawn—from God's own founts of mystery ; Far destined—^for my soul must ever be. |
