CADER IDRIS AT SUNSET - ZaunköniG - 31.12.2010
CADER IDRIS AT SUNSET.
Last autumn, as we sat, ere fall of night,
Over against old Cader's rugged face,
We mark'd the sunset from its secret place
Salute him with a fair and sudden light.
Flame-hued he rose, and vast, without a speck
Of life upon his flush'd and lonely side ;
A double rainbow o'er him bent, to deck
What was so bright before, thrice glorified !
How oft, when pacing o'er those inland plains,
I see that rosy rock of Northern Wales
Come up before me ! then its lustre wanes.
And all the frith and intermediate vales
Are darken'd, while our little group remains
Half-glad, half-tearful, as the vision pales !
