REQUITAL - ZaunköniG - 09.08.2014 REQUITAL IT is not now a dream, this love of mine. Long years it ky beneath the arid earth And no rains fell to soothe the choking dearth Of the hot ground above it, and no shine Of fostering sun pierced to the gloomy mine, Where it was starved of that which gave it birth, Cramped and suppressed as in a hardened girth Of burning soil that made its roots combine Into a knot ; but on a day there came One with a little water in a vase, Which gently on the withered plant she threw, When lo ! it woke, and like a sudden flame Shot into life, and ranged its lily stars Around her like a fairy retinue. |
