Sargent, Epes: Tropical Weather - ZaunköniG - 26.05.2007 Tropical Weather Now we ‘re afloat upon the tropic sea! Here Summer holdeth a perpetual reign: How flash the waters in their bounding glee! The sky’s soft purple is without a stain! Full in our wake the smooth, warm trade-winds, blowing, To their unvarying goal still faithful run! And as we steer, with sails before them flowing, Nearer the zenith daily climbs the sun. The startled flying-fish around us skim, Glossed, like the humming-bird, with rainbow dyes; And, as they dip into the water’s brim, Swift in pursuit the preying dolphin hies. All, all is fair; and, gazing round, we feel Over the yielding sense the torrid languor steal. |
