To the Gossamer-Light - ZaunköniG - 22.05.2007
To the Gossamer-Light
Quick gleam! that ridest on the gossamer!
How oft I see thee, with thy wavering lance,
Tilt at the midges in their evening dance,
A gentle joust set on by summer air!
How oft I watch thee from my garden-chair!
And, failing that, I search the lawns and bowers,
To find thee floating o'er the fruits and flowers,
And doing thy sweet work in silence there:
Thou art the poet's darling, ever sought
In the fair garden or the breezy mead;
The wind dismounts thee not; thy bouyant thread
Is as the sonnet, poising one bright thought,
That moves but does not vanish! borne along
Like light,--a golden drift through all the song!
