The Perfect Present - ZaunköniG - 27.04.2012 The Perfect Present So I have kissed you! And this hour is mine. Its light along the level future lasts, It crowns a drab eternity of Pasts! Here soul and soul have crossed the border-line Of self, and merged. No years can e'er untwine This hour from us! What though to-morrow casts The memory out, and your cold glance contrasts With this day's rich red lips, need I repine? No. I have kissed you! And the brief warm flower Born of our lips perfumes eternity. From the long loneliness that silently Stretches behind, before, I am content To cull this blossom of one perfect hour - To snatch one star from Time's deep firmament! |
