Houfe, Charles A.: The Times to Come - ZaunköniG - 02.07.2007 The Times to Come The moon that borrows now a gentle light Once burned another sun; then from on high The earth received a double day; the sky Showed but faint stars, and never knew a night. The poles, now frigid and for ever white With the deep snows that on their bosoms lie, Were torrid as the moon that hung thereby And mingled rays as fiercely hot as bright. Mutations infinite! Through shifting sea And lands huge monstrous beasts once took their range Where now our stately world shows pleasantly! Then be not fearful at the thought of change, For though unknown the times that are to be, Yet shall they prove most beautifully strange. |
