What is some sweet device of faery land - ZaunköniG - 16.04.2007 What is some sweet device of faery land That mocked my steps with many a lonely glade, And fancied wand'rings with a fair-haired maid? Have these things been? Or did the wizard wand Of Merlin wave, impregning vacant air, And kindle up the vision of a smile In those blue eyes, that seemed to speak the while Such tender things, as might enforce Despair To drop the murd'ring knife, and let go by His fell resolve? Ah me! the lonely glade Still courts the footsteps of the fair-haired maid, Among whose locks the west-winds love to sigh: But I forlorn do wander, reckless where, And mid my wand'rings find no Anna there! |
