Ραγκαβής, Αλέξανδρος Ρίζος: ´O ’´Ερως - ZaunköniG - 03.10.2007 Alexander R. Rhankaves (Rhangabe) Αλέξανδρος Ρίζος Ραγκαβής 1809/10 – 1892 Griechenland engl. von: E. Mayhew Edmonds. - ZaunköniG - 03.10.2007 Love Behold, sweet love, all things on this our earth Have been prepared with leavening of tears! With tears, delight - with tears, renown appears, - With mingled tears hath every joy its birth. O'er land and sea Man passes, still at strife; He passes - memories, footprints, leaving none, With tears mute science following alone, Grows old - and dies - ere he hath studied Life. His vague desires across black chaos sail, He hopes - his hopes untimely withering fail. Winged shadows he pursues, - on, on, they move. Yet creeping through the darkness gently gleams For him th' illumining light of one star's beams; One smile alone - one smile - consoles him - Love.
