Beers, Henry Augustin: Tò IIаv - ZaunköniG - 08.07.2007 Tò IIаv The little creek which yesterday I saw Ooze through the sedges, and each brackish vein That sluiced the marsh, now filled and then again Sucked dry to glut the sea's unsated maw, All ebb and flow by the same rhythmic law That times the beat of the Atlantic main-- They also fastened to the swift moon's train By unseen cords that no less strongly draw. So, poet, may thy life's small tributary Threading some bitter marsh, obscure, alone, Feel yet one pulse with the broad estuary: That bears an emperor's fleets through half a zone May wait upon the same high luminary And pitch its voice to the same ocean's tone. |
