Singing - ZaunköniG - 18.06.2007 Singing I could have lengthened out one fleeting hour Into an age--sitting at set of sun Under the long low open shed, where won The mellow evening light through leaf and flower; Playing the hostess in that summer bower To such dear guests, whilst rose the antique song, By those young sister voices poured along, So wild, so pure, so clear, full of sweet power, Ringing and vibrating. It was a lay That sent a smile into the very heart: As when the early lark shoots up in May With his blithe matins, rarer than all art Save this. O happiest and most fleeting day, Why art thou gone so soon?--Why must we part? |
